Fine or fresh breadcrumbs just don’t compare! Shallow FryingĬhicken Katsu is great because you can get away with shallow frying instead of deep frying. Panko breadcrumbs are Japanese breadcrumbs which are big and airy, meaning they turn the chicken ultra crunchy. If find this reduces mess if you’ve only got one hand dunking in the egg! Panko Breadcrumbs You may also find it easier (and cleaner) to designate a ‘wet hand’ and ‘dry hand’. Important you season the flour and breadcrumbs, something that is often forgotten. Nobody enjoys dredging, but it’s the price you gotta pay for crispy chicken! Here we’re going from flour to egg to breadcrumbs. When it comes to making the Katsu it’s a pretty straight forward process. Process shots: lay chicken on chopping board (photo 1), lay over cling film (photo 2), pound until even thickness (photo 3), remove cling film (photo 4). In all cases whether it’s breast or thigh you’re using just make sure it’s boneless/skinless meat you’re using. You sure can! It’s very difficult to butterfly thighs, so you’ll want to pound them. I find this tenderizes the chicken and it’s also a great stress reliever! To pound the chicken all you need is cling film and a rolling pin, mallet or even a heavy pot. If you halve the chicken breast you get the bonus of 2 for the price of 1, but I usually opt for pounding. By halving or pounding the chicken you even out the chicken, which not only means it’ll cook quicker (because it’s thinner) but also means it’ll cook more evenly. If you just bread the chicken right away not only will it cook unevenly, but it’ll be way too thick to put in a sandwich, especially dainty ones like these. When it comes to prepping the chicken you’ve got two options: butterflying/halving the chicken or pounding the chicken. Sure, Chicken Katsu is great, but Chicken Katsu sandwiches are MUCH better 😛 If you’ve never tried your hand at making Katsu before you’re in for a treat! Follow me…įor Katsu sandwiches I’ll usually opt for chicken breast. There’s nothing better than golden crunchy chicken wedged between soft fluffy slices of bread. Better still, they couldn’t be easier to make!
These Chicken Katsu Sandwiches are ultra crispy and super delicious.
