- Add all the ingredients for the katsu sauce in a bowl and whisk until it’s fully incorporated. Set aside.
- Put the flour, beaten egg, and panko into 3 separate shallow containers.
- Dip the chicken thigh pieces into the flour and thoroughly coat.
- Then dip into the egg, letting any excess drip off.
- Lastly, coat completely with the panko. Place the coated chicken thigh on a wire rack. Repeat with all the chicken.
- Preheat the oil to 350 °F over medium heat in a heavy bottom pan. Carefully lower each chicken piece into the oil and for about 1 minute per side or until golden brown. Don't crowd the pot. Use a thermometer to make sure it’s done (145 °F internally).
- Serve chicken with rice and katsu sauce.
