Chicken Katsu Recipe
Chicken katsu is a popular Hawaiian dish. Tender chicken cutlets coated in a crispy, golden brown crust and dipped in tonkatsu sauce. Sure to be a favorite in your house.
Ingredients
For the chicken katsu
- 6 boneless skinless thighs
- 3 eggs beaten
- 2 cups panko
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- Frying oil of choice
For the tonkatsu sauce
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon shoyu
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon mirin
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium high heat. While oil is heating up start dredging the chicken.
- Place the eggs, panko, and flour in three separate shallow dishes.
- Add garlic salt and pepper to the flour and mix to combine.
- Next coat the chicken in flour. Be sure to shake off any excess flour. Then dip in the eggs being sure to cover the entire surface of the chicken. And lastly dip in the panko. You can press the panko on to the chicken to ensure even coverage.
- Once the oil has reached about 350F, place the chicken in the pan and fry until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes flipping halfway through.
- Remove chicken and place on a paper towel or a cooling rack set over a cookie sheet to catch excess oil.
- For the katsu sauce: In a medium bowl add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, shoyu, sugar, and mirin. Whisk to combine.
- Serve chicken with the katsu sauce as well as sticky white rice, macaroni salad, or tossed greens. Enjoy!
