Coating the Chicken
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing down lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chicken
Working in batches, carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning halfway for even browning.

Drain the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken katsu bites with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serving

Plating
Serve the chicken katsu bites hot with tonkatsu sauce drizzled over or on the side for dipping. Garnish with lemon wedges to add a fresh twist.
