Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Season

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

  3. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  6. 6

    Fry Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken in the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Slice and serve with tonkatsu sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
