Thin sliced chicken breast breaded with flour, egg, and Japanese panko breadcrumbs. Air Fried until golden brown and crispy.

What Is Tori Katsu

Let’s make a popular Japanese dish today. Chicken Katsu チキンカツ, also known as Tori Katsu or a Japanese Chicken Cutlet.

How To Make Chicken Katsu

It is very similar to the Pork cutlet also known as Tonkatsu とんかつ. Pork cutlet is breaded with panko and then deep fried to get a nice crispy outside layer served with katsu sauce and with shredded cabbage or rice. For today, instead of pork we will be using chicken to make Tori Katsu! Similar to the Tonkatsu, the Chicken katsu is a thin sliced chicken breast breaded with flour, egg, and Japanese panko breadcrumbs.

How To Make Katsu Sauce

For the ones who don't have the katsu sauce at home which they normally serve it with. Check out my Air Fryer Pork Cutlets Recipe Video where I made the sauce for the Tonkatsu, it will show you a very quick and easy way to make that sauce. You can adjust the flavor by experimenting with the ingredients.

Air Fried Chicken Cutlet

To make our Chicken Katsu it into a healthier version we will be using the Air Fryer. Air Fried Chicken Katsu is as yummy and crispy as the deep fried traditional chicken katsu.

Coat the chicken with flour first. Dip in the egg and then shake it off to remove excess egg. Coat with panko and press lightly to make sure it sticks.

After 10 minutes, carefully flip the chicken. Spray with some more oil and finish cooking until golden brown and crispy.

When finished take out the katsu from the air fryer. Let the katsu rest 10 minutes on a wire rack. Cut it up and serve with your favorite food! ❀◕ ‿ ◕❀
