Chicken Katsu Delight
Ingredients:
- 250 grams chicken breast fillets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Breadcrumbs, as needed
Steps:
-
Marinate the Chicken:
- Start by coating the chicken breast fillets with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed across the fillets.
- Let the marinated chicken rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
-
Prepare the Coatings:
- Dredge each chicken fillet in all-purpose flour, ensuring a light, even coating.
- Mix the remaining flour with a bit of water to create a wet batter.
-
Bread the Chicken:
- Dip the flour-coated chicken fillets into the wet batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Immediately coat the fillets with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
-
Fry to Perfection:
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Carefully place the breaded chicken fillets in the hot oil.
- Fry until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, turning as necessary to achieve an even color. This should take about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Plate the crispy chicken katsu and serve with a side of mayonnaise and chili sauce for dipping.
This simple yet delectable Chicken Katsu makes for a satisfying meal, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy the delightful crunch and savory taste that is sure to please your taste buds!
