Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

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!
