Easy Chicken Katsu

Crunchy panko-crumbed chicken with a sweet-savoury tonkatsu sauce — pressing the panko on firmly, rather than just dredging, is what gives it that thick, craggy crust that stays crisp even after slicing.

Ingredients

4chicken breast, butterflied
1.5 cupspanko breadcrumbs
1/2 cuptonkatsu sauce
2 / 1/2 cupegg and flour for coating
as neededoil for frying

Instructions

1

Coat each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in beaten egg and press firmly into the panko so it sticks in an even, thick layer.

2

Shallow-fry in oil heated to medium until deep golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side, resist moving the chicken too soon or the crust will tear.

3

Rest briefly on a wire rack rather than paper towel, which would soften the crust.

4

Slice and drizzle with tonkatsu sauce, then serve with steamed rice and shredded cabbage.
