Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 Tbsp garlic salt
1/2 c flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 c panko bread crumbs
2 c cooking oil
1/3 c ketchup
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Flatten chicken pieces into 1/4 inch thick pieces.
  • 2. Season chicken generously with garlic salt, ( season to taste) and let stand 15 to 30 minutes.
  • 3. Set up three dredging pans. Place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second and panko flakes in the third.
  • 4. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a skillet to 350 degrees.
  • 5. Dredge chicken in flour, dip in eggs and coat with panko in that order.
  • 6. Fry chicken in batches until golden brown on both sides; drain on paper towels.
  • 7. To make katsu sauce, combine catsup, soy sauce, sugar, Worcestershire sauce and red pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
  • 8. Cut into one inch slices and serve hot with katsu sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality chicken. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your katsu.
  • Pound the chicken breasts thin. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a light hand when breading the chicken. Too much breading will make the katsu greasy and heavy.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil. This will help it to cook evenly and quickly, and will give it a nice crispy crust.
  • Serve the katsu with a variety of dipping sauces. Tonkatsu sauce, Japanese BBQ sauce, and spicy mayo are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian chicken katsu is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
