Japanese Style Breaded Chicken with Sweet Chili Crisp Drizzle

This method is known as Chicken Katsu in Japan, which means chicken "cutlet." It's made with thin sliced breaded chicken breasts. I love its simplicity--and I love it even more with this sweet and spicy sauce drizzled on top!

Ingredients

1 lb thinly sliced chicken breasts

salt and pepper

3/4 cup flour

1 egg plus 2 teaspoons water, whisked well

1 cup panko or breadcrumbs (plus more as needed)

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/4 cup Maya Kaimal Chili Crisp

1/4 cup Japanese BBQ Sauce, such as Bachan’s

Preparation

Step 1
Season the sliced chicken breast with salt and pepper.

Step 2
Place flour, egg, and panko in three shallow bowls. Dredge each chicken slice in flour, then egg, then panko and set aside.

Step 3
Heat the oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Fry them about 3 minutes a side, or until golden and cooked through.

Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the Maya Kaimal Chili Crisp and the Japanese BBQ sauce together.

Step 5
Drizzle each piece of chicken with the sauce, and serve with rice and a green vegetable. Enjoy!
