Panko breaded chicken (Japanese Katsu). This consists of crispy pan fried chicken lightly breaded in panko crumbs. The meat is so tender and moist with simple seasoning, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic salt on the breadcrumbs. This easy panko breaded chicken is inspired by Japanese Katsu Chicken. I served this crispy breaded chicken with homemade TonKatsu sauce, though kids may prefer a barbeque or ketchup style sauce with it.
- 2 Chicken Breasts (Medium-Large Size) , halves
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- Black Pepper
- 2/3 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 1/3 cups Panko bread crumbs (unsalted)
- 1 Egg (beaten)
- Garlic salt
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
-
Cut the chicken breasts in half and season chicken with salt and pepper.
-
Put the flour, egg, and panko crumbs on 3 separate plates.
-
Dredge one piece of chicken in the flour, tapping off any extra.
-
Dip the chicken in the egg, let the excess to drip off.
-
Coat the chicken with the panko crumbs.
-
Repeat this step for all pieces of chicken. Season each chicken lightly with garlic salt.
-
Heat one cup of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, then add 2 pieces of chicken and cook until golden and crispy (for about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove chicken from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Remove used oil from the pan and clean well.
-
Heat one cup of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat then add remaining chicken (2 pieces) and cook until golden and crispy (for about 3-4 minutes per side).
-
Serve the chicken with rice and TonKatsu sauce, barbecue sauce, ketchup or other sauce.
- 3 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1/2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon Mirin
- 1/2 tablespoon Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder
-
In a mixing bowl, stir all the ingredients until well blended.
