Ingredients
Chicken (de-boned thigh or breast)
panko breadcrumbs
flour
egg
salt/pepper
oil
Take your chicken breast or thigh and pound it out. I use the back of my knife and pound it out until it is a quarter inch thick. I'm guessing a meat tenderizer type thing would work great but I don't have one. When using chicken breast, I like to slice the chicken into thinner slices to speed up the process. Set aside.
Put some oil in a skillet over medium high heat. While the oil is heating up, set up three separate dishes for coating the chicken. First dish- flour, salt, pepper. Second dish- beaten eggs. Third dish- panko bread crumbs.
Now work the assembly line. Coat the chicken in the flour, then dip into the eggs, then into the bread crumbs, and then pop it into the pan. Fry on one side until golden brown and then flip it over and brown the other side.
Serve with the "special sauce"...I don't know the name of it...it's just the sauce you get when you order chicken katsu at a local Hawaii restaurant lol. There are recipes out there but by the time all the katsu is ready I'm usually too lazy to make it from scratch and end up eating the katsu with ketchup, sweet chili sauce, or curry (mmmm yum).
I've tried with just egg and bread crumbs but I like the flour-egg-panko trio a lot better.
