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.
