Share:
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast cutlets boneless and skinless
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
Katsu Sauce Recipe
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger finely chopped or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Serving
- green onions
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- If you have a full-sized chicken breast, slice it in half to form thinner cutlets. Pat it dry with paper towels and lightly season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Get two shallow bowls. In one, mix the flour and panko crumbs. In the second shallow bowl, mix the egg.
- Dip the piece of chicken in the egg, then place it in the panko bread crumb mixture. Press it on every side so that it is well coated in crumbs.
- Preheat air fryer at 360˚F for 3 minutes.
- Spray the chicken pieces with a little bit of oil. Then place the coated slices in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 360˚F for 16 minutes, turning the pieces over halfway through the cooking time. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the meat has reached 165 degrees F.
- During that time, make the Katsu sauce by mixing the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and ginger in a small bowl.
- Serve immediately with Katsu sauce as a drizzle or for dipping. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature.
- Don't use a commercial nonstick cooking spray because the chemicals can damage the coating on the air fryer basket. Use an inexpensive oil spray bottle or brush oil onto the meat.
- You can buy katsu sauce at an Asian grocery store or online if you prefer.
- You can make this with boneless chicken thighs.
