This crispy, homemade Chicken Katsu is unbelievably crispy on the outside and so juicy on the inside! I was inspired to make them from my recent trips to Hawaii and Japan where you can find chicken katsu everywhere!

Instructions

Step 1

Pound chicken to 1/2" thickness and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Mix together egg, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to form a wet batter. The consistency should be slightly looser than pancake batter (add water if needed).

Step 3

Dredge chicken completely and let any excess drip off. Transfer chicken into panko breadcrumbs and coat well, making sure there are no bald spots.

Step 4

Fry at 350°F for 4-6 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F. Set aside on a wire rack to cool. Serve with rice and mac salad and enjoy!
