Chicken Katsu aka Japanese Fried Chicken Cutlet 日式炸鸡排

A simple Chicken Katsu recipe that can be easily prepared at home. Chicken Katsu is generally served with Tonkatsu sauce or curry with rice.

This recipe is similar to my Crispy Chicken Nuggets recipe , added some sake and garlic powder to elevate the taste. In this blog post, I'm sharing the deep fried version. Although it's deep fried, as long as it's fried at the right temperature, the chicken is crispy on the outside and succulent/ juicy in the inside, it's not oily at all. However, if you're health conscious, you can air fry or bake this in an oven.

180g Boneless Chicken Thigh/ Leg/ Breast 去骨鸡肉 180克，切成两片
