Bake at 425˚F for 10-15 minutes, until cooked through to an internal temp of 165˚F. The time w vary based on the thickness of your chicken.

While the chicken cooks mix the honey with the red pepper flakes. Drizzle the honey over the chicken right before serving. Enjoy!

Easy chicken katsu recipe with chicken breast coated with flour, egg, and panko, deep-fried until golden brown, and drizzled with tonkatsu sauce. 

Chicken Katsu

1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts ((you can also use chicken thighs

Tbsp sake ((for marinating chicken))

salt

black pepper

Tbsp all-purpose flour (plain flour)

eggs (50 g each w/o shell)

Panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

neutral-flavored oil (vegetable, rice bran, canola, etc) ((for deep frying))

Tonkatsu Sauce ((or make my homemade tonkatsu sauce recipe))

Gather all the ingredients.

Slice the chicken diagonally. This cutting technique is called Sogigiri in Japanese. Each piece will have more surface area so it will cook faster. Tip: The Japanese use chopsticks to eat Chicken Katsu, so the chicken is cut into bite-sized pieces. It&#039;s easier to deep fry individual small pieces of chicken katsu than 3 big chicken breasts then slice into pieces after deep frying. You also want to consider the chicken katsu texture. If you want to deep fry a big chicken breast, you have to pound the chicken to even thickness. By doing this, it loses some texture. Therefore, I like to pre-slice (diagonally) and deep fry.

Put the chicken in a bowl and add sake, salt, and pepper. Set aside for 15 minutes.

Coat the chicken with flour and shake off any excess.

Dredge each chicken piece in the beaten egg.

Coat the chicken with Panko and remove any excess. If you have time, let the chicken sit in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Heat 1-2 inch of oil in the cast iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven. Drop a piece of panko to see if the oil is ready. If you are new to deep-frying, use a thermometer to check the temperature of oil (Read How To Deep Fry Food). The oil should be 350 ºF (180 ºC).

Put 2-3 pieces of chicken in at a time. If you put too many chicken pieces, the temperature of the oil will drop too quickly and the chicken will end up absorbing too much oil.

Deep fry until both sides are golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined tray to remove excess oil.

Between batches, make sure to pick up breadcrumbs. When you don’t pick them up, the breadcrumbs will get burnt and the oil will get darker. Make sure to keep the oil clean throughout deep frying.

Serve immediately with tonkatsu sauce and salad.

You can store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and in the freezer for up to a month. To reheat, bake at 350 ºF (180 ºC) for 15-20 minutes for defrosted ones or 45 minutes for frozen ones. Check if the inside is warm before serving.

Panko Chicken

chicken breasts

tsp onion powder

tsp garlic powder

tsp mustard powder

¼ tsp white pepper

tsp sea

1 egg

120 grams (or 1 cup) of panko breadcrumbs

milliliters

Lemon wedges (to serve)

Prepare the chicken breasts. Remove any fat and tenderise them by pounding them with a meat tenderiser. (Note 1)

Place a frying pan on a high heat and fill with 0.5cm or ¼ inch of vegetable oil. Add one breadcrumb to check the oil is hot. If it sizzles and quickly burns up you are good to go, but it sinks you need to wait a little longer for the oil to become hot.

Chicken Katsu Curry (Japanese Chicken Cutlet Curry)

rice

water

olive oil oil

potatoes

onion

carrots

bell pepper (diced)

Golden Curry Sauce Mix (or a half a pack)

½ lbs Boneless skinless chicken thighs tenderized

panko

Flour

Eggs beaten

Milk

vegetable oil

tsp kosher salt divided

tsp black pepper divided

½ tsp togarashi

First, make the rice so it cooks while you cook the curry and chicken katsu.

Rice

Place the uncooked rice in the rice cooker cooking bowl and rinse with water until the water is clear. Drain the washing water completely. Add the fresh water and place the cooking bowl inside the rice cooker. Follow the rice cooker instructions.

Fluff the rice inside the cooker and leave on the &quot;warm&quot; setting until ready to serve.

Rice Cooker Instructions

Place the uncooked rice in a cast iron pot or a pot with a thick bottom and rinse with water until the water is clear. Drain the washing water completely. Add the fresh water and place the lid on the pot.

Cook the rice on high heat at first.  Once it begins to boil, lower the heat to low-medium. Cook for 15-20 minutes without removing the lid. Turn off the heat and allow the rice to steam for an additional 10 minutes. Set the cooked rice aside.

Stovetop Rice Instructions

Next, while the rice cooks, make the curry.

Stir-fry the vegetables - Add the oil to a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Once the oil heats, add the onions, carrots, bell peppers, and potatoes. Fry in the oil for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions soften.

Cook in water - Add water to the to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover the pot with the lid.  Allow vegetables to simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-18 minutes.

Add the curry blocks - Turn off the medium heat and add the Golden Curry blocks to the pot. Stir the mixture until the blocks are melted and completely incorporated. Turn the heat back on low heat and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to incorporate all of the flavors.

Japanese Curry Recipe

Prepare chicken - Trim the fat off of the meat. Then, arrange a couple of chicken thighs in a flat layer inside of a gallon zip-top bag and remove as much air as possible. Use a meat tenderizer to gently pound until it is an even half-inch thickness. Remove the flattened chicken and set aside. Repeat until all of the chicken thighs are tenderized. Tenderizing the meat allows the pieces to cook evenly.

Season chicken - Place the chicken in a large bowl and season the meat with ½ tsp kosher salt and ½ tsp black pepper.

Create flour mixture - Place the flour in a shallow dish. Gently whisk in ½ tsp kosher salt, ½ tsp black pepper, garlic powder, and togarashi.

Create egg mixture - In a mixing bowl, add eggs and milk. Beat the eggs and milk mixture until homogeneous. You can also omit the milk and just use eggs.

Prepare panko - Place the panko in a shallow dish.

Dredge chicken - Coat each piece of chicken with flour mixture and shake off excess flour. Then dip each piece in the egg mixture. Finally, coat both sides of each chicken piece in panko by pressing the chicken into the panko crumbs.

Fry chicken - Heat 1 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place 2 or 3 pieces of chicken in the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown. Carefully remove crumbs from the oil with a mesh skimmer or spoon so they do not burn the oil after each batch is fried.

Transfer the fried chicken to a wire cooling rack or a paper towel-lined plate.

(or salt

tsp Black pepper powder

chicken breasts ((Note 1))

flour

mustard powder

¼ tsp white pepper

panko breadcrumbs ((Note 2))

vegetable or other neutral oil. (To fill

Prepare the chicken breasts. Remove any fat from the chicken breasts and cut them horizontally with a knife to form cutlets. Tenderize them by pounding them with a meat tenderizer until you get an even thickness of a quarter to one third of an inch. This makes the chicken thin enough for shallow frying as well as improving its texture. (Note 4)

Mix the flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, white pepper and salt in a bowl.

Crack the egg into another bowl and beat.

Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Place a frying pan on a high heat and fill with ¼ inch of oil. Add one breadcrumb to check the oil is hot. If it sizzles and quickly burns up you are good to go, but if it sinks you need to wait a little longer for the oil to become hot.

Place the panko-coated chicken breasts into the pan and fry for 1.5 to 2 minutes on each side. (Note 5)

The Modern Proper

Season the chicken

Working with 1 piece of chicken at a time, place the meat between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound each chicken breast to ½ -inch thickness. Season the chicken on both sides with the salt and pepper.

Dredge the chicken

In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl and the panko in a third shallow bowl. Dip each piece of chicken into the flour and coat on both sides. Then dip into the egg, allowing the excess to drip off. Press the chicken into the panko to coat evenly.

Cook the chicken

Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is glistening, add 2 pieces of chicken and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, each side. Repeat with the remaining chicken, adding 2 tablespoons of oil each time.

Slice and Serve

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to cool, then slice.
