Chicken Katsu

 Ingredients:

  • 2 packages of boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts (about 3 lbs total)
  • Salt and sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • panko crumbs, about 1 7 oz container
  • onion powder, black pepper, paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 cup milk (or use water)
Instructions:
Rinse and dry the chicken with some paper towels. Cut up any pieces that are too thick or too big. Poke holes through each piece of chicken with a fork.

Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of salt and sugar on one side of the chicken pieces. Then flip to the other side and sprinkle 1/2 tsp of salt and sugar on the other side. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.

Prepare oil in a frying pan, heating to 350.

Add the 1/2 cup of flour to a bowl and add up to 1/2 tsp of salt, plus black pepper and 1/4 tsp of onion powder (optional). Mix.

Crack the 2 eggs in a bowl and whisk to scramble them.  Add 1/4 cup water or milk and mix into the eggs.

Add some panko bread crumbs to a third bowl.

Dip the chicken pieces into the flour first, then into the egg, then into the panko to coat with crumbs.

In a frying pan, brown the chicken pieces about 4 minutes on each side, until they have a toasty brown color on each side.
