VIDEORECIPE Easy homemade Chicken Katsu recipe

Prepare the chicken by trimming off any excess fat. Lay the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them until they are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

In a shallow dish, spread out some flour. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a separate shallow dish, spread out the panko bread crumbs.

In a large skillet, pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

While the oil is heating, coat the chicken by first dredging it in flour, then dipping it into the egg mixture, and finally coating it with panko bread crumbs. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in each step.

Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes. If necessary, fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Gently flip the chicken and continue frying for another 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, and has turned golden brown and crispy.

Remove the chicken from the oil and let it rest for 5 minutes.

For the katsu sauce, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

Slice the chicken into thin pieces and drizzle with katsu sauce. Enjoy!
