Chicken katsu is a type of breaded and fried chicken that is popular in Japan, but it’s definitely getting a fan base elsewhere as well.
This chicken made into a sandwich is super crunchy, spicy, and after trying it, you’ll never get a chicken sandwich from a fast food joint again.
Recipe
- Start off with boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Pound them until they’re about 1/2 inch thick.
- Then, make your dredging station with plain panko bread crumbs, flour seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper, and an egg beaten with hot sauce in it.
- First, dip your chicken into the flour and coat it on both sides, move to the egg wash, and finally into the panko bread crumbs.
- Heat a skillet on medium to medium-high heat and pour in olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot but not smoking, put the cutlets in and let them cook on each side until they’re golden brown or slightly passed. Don’t overcrowd the pan or the chicken won’t cook properly!
- Rest the chicken on a cooling rack so it stays nice and crispy while you fry the rest.
- Put it on soft white bread or sweet Hawaiin roll with shredded lettuce or cabbage, mayo, pickles, and extra hot sauce, and you’re ready to eat!
