Ingredients :
- ½ cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 eggs
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups panko
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Directions :
- To create the katsu sauce, combine ketchup, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and water in a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Scramble the eggs in a bowl. Add the flour and panko to their own bowls as well.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge it in the flour, then the egg, and finish with the panko.
- Heat the oil in a pan or skillet on medium-high heat to 350F and maintain that heat. If the oil is too hot, it will burn the coating before the chicken can cook through. There should be enough oil in the pan to cover the cutlets completely.
- Once the oil is boiling hot, add your cutlets and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side. The crust should be crispy and golden brown.
- Top with the katsu sauce and fresh herbs.
- Serve with your favorite sides, and enjoy
