Prepare the Ingredients:
Begin by gathering all the ingredients required for the recipe. -
Marinate the Chicken:
Thoroughly wash the chicken fillets. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and sprinkle a little salt. Allow the chicken to marinate for a few minutes. -
Prepare the Coating:
In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, beaten egg, ground black pepper, salt, and a bit of water to create a batter. Dip the marinated chicken fillets into this batter, ensuring they are evenly coated. -
Bread the Chicken:
After coating the chicken in the batter, roll the chicken fillets in the breadcrumbs (tepung panir) until they are fully covered. -
Fry the Chicken:
Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the breaded chicken fillets until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. -
Drain and Serve:
Remove the chicken katsu from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve the chicken katsu with a dollop of mayonnaise and your choice of tomato sauce or hot sauce.
Chicken katsu is now ready to be enjoyed! This crispy and delicious dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or steamed rice for a complete meal. Bon appétit!
