Chicken Katsu

Cultural Context

Originating in Japan, Chicken Katsu is a beloved dish that features breaded and fried chicken, often served with a tangy tonkatsu sauce. It reflects the influence of Western cuisine on Japanese cooking during the Meiji era. Today, Chicken Katsu is enjoyed globally, often served with rice and salad, and has inspired variations like Katsu-don, where it's served over rice with egg.

panko breadcrumbs

tonkatsu sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade sauce with ketchup and Worcestershire

💰Cheaper: soy sauce

Homemade sauce can be lighter and more affordable.

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: ground chicken

Thighs are juicier and often cheaper than breasts.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier, while canola is typically less expensive.

1

Cut the chicken breast into two equal parts lengthwise and slice diagonally into thin pieces. Lay them on a cutting board and lightly pound with a knife, then sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.

2

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them, then mix in the grated cheese. Place the kaki no tane in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are finely crushed.

3

Coat the chicken pieces in the rice flour, then dip them in the egg mixture, and finally coat them with the crushed kaki no tane.

4

Heat about 2 cm of oil in a cast iron pan or pot to 180 degrees Celsius. Fry the coated chicken pieces until golden brown on one side, then flip and fry until both sides are crispy. Remove and place on a draining rack. Serve with dipping sauces of your choice.
