Ingredients

  • 2 large Chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
  • 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 large Eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.25 cup Ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar to create the homemade Tonkatsu sauce; set aside.

  2. 2

    Season the flattened chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg, and finally press firmly into the panko until fully coated.

  5. 5

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes per side until the crust is deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  7. 7

    Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack or paper towels to drain for 2 minutes.

  8. 8

    Slice the chicken into 1-inch strips and serve immediately drizzled with the homemade Tonkatsu sauce.
