Recipe View Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken cutlets into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C). (10 minutes)

Recipe View Drain and Serve: Transfer the fried chicken katsu to a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with steamed rice, tonkatsu sauce, and a crisp cabbage salad.

For extra crispy katsu, double dredge the chicken. After the first coat of panko, dip back into the egg and then again into the panko crumbs.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying. If the oil isn't hot enough, the katsu will absorb too much oil and become soggy.
Do not overcrowd the pan when frying to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
Pounding the chicken to an even thickness helps it cook evenly and quickly.
Tonkatsu sauce is a readily available condiment, however, you can make a substitute with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and mustard.
