½ cupflour

seasoned with salt and pepper

2eggs

large, lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons of water

2 cupspanko bread crumbs

3 cupsvegetable oil

Instructions

Step 1

Lightly pound the chicken thighs 1/2 inch-thick and season with salt and pepper

Step 2

Put the flour, eggs, and panko in three separate plates and season each one lightly with salt and pepper

Step 3

Dredge 1 piece of chicken in the flour, tapping off the excess. Dip in the egg, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat the chicken with the panko, pressing to help it adhere. Transfer the chicken to a wax paper–lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

Step 4

Divide the oil between two large skillets and heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and fry over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden and crispy, 3-3.5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Step 5

Serve the chicken with tonkatsu sauce and steamed rice
