For extra crispy chicken, double dip the chicken: flour, egg, flour, egg, then panko. Adjust the sweetness and spiciness of the sauce to your preference. Chicken Katsu is great for meal prep! Cook the chicken and store it separately from the sauce. When ready to eat, reheat the chicken in the oven or air fryer to maintain its crispiness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Chicken: Place chicken in a bowl and sprinkle with garlic salt. Toss to coat evenly and let sit for 5 minutes.
02
StepSet up Breading Stations: Place flour in a shallow bowl. Place beaten eggs in a second shallow bowl. Place panko bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl.
03
StepBread the Chicken: Toss each piece of chicken in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, toss the chicken in the panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. (Estimated time: 15-20 minutes)
04
StepHeat the Oil: Pour approximately 2 inches of vegetable oil into a large cast iron pan or heavy-bottomed pot. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C). A good way to test the oil is by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil. It should sizzle gently and turn golden brown within seconds.
05
StepFry the Chicken: Carefully lower the breaded chicken into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). (Estimated time: 10-15 minutes per batch)
06
StepDrain the Chicken: Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining chicken.
07
StepPrepare the Sauce: While the chicken is frying, combine ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has slightly thickened. If you like spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. (Estimated time: 6-8 minutes)
08
StepServe: Serve the crispy chicken katsu immediately with the prepared dipping sauce. Steamed rice and your favorite vegetables make excellent accompaniments.
