How to make

  • Step 1

    Make Chicken and Marinade: Place chicken thighs between two sheets of plastic wrap; using meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy frying pan, pound to 1/4-inch (5 mm) thickness. In large bowl, stir together soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper; add chicken. Rub mixture all over chicken until coated; let stand 15 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, make Katsu Sauce: In small saucepan, combine ketchup, Worcestershire, 3 tbsp (45 mL) water, sugar, soy sauce, mirin, garlic and ginger. Cook over low heat, stirring, for about 10 minutes or until thickened; set sauce aside.

  • Step 3

    Make Breading: In shallow dish, whisk together flour, salt and pepper. In separate shallow dish, whisk eggs together with 2 tbsp (25 mL) water. Pour panko into a third shallow dish. Dip chicken into flour mixture to coat, shaking off excess. Next dip into egg mixture followed by panko, patting to coat.

  • Step 4

    In large frying pan, heat 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the oil over medium heat. Cook chicken in three batches, turning occasionally, for about 6 minutes or until brown, crisp and cooked through. Add more of the oil to pan between batches. Cut chicken into strips and serve with lemon slices and Katsu Sauce.
