Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
- 2 cups Gluten-free Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Aquafaba (chickpea liquid) or beaten eggs
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos (soy-free alternative)
- 0.5 cup Tomato ketchup (corn-syrup free)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (ensure gluten/anchovy free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple syrup
- 1 cup Neutral frying oil (Grapeseed or Avocado)
- 1 teaspoon Salt and white pepper
Instructions
- 1
Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with salt and white pepper.
- 2
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with rice flour, one with aquafaba (or egg), and one with Panko breadcrumbs.
- 3
Coat each chicken piece in rice flour, dip into the liquid binder, and then press firmly into the Panko until fully coated.
- 4
In a small saucepan, whisk together the tomato ketchup, coconut aminos, Worcestershire sauce, and honey over low heat until thickened to make the allergy-safe sauce.
- 5
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Carefully place chicken in the oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until the crust is deep golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- 7
Transfer the chicken to a wire rack or paper-towel-lined plate to drain for 2 minutes.
- 8
Slice the katsu into thick strips and drizzle generously with the prepared allergy-safe sauce before serving.
