Well, it's very easy to make; however, the chicken itself did taste a tad bit plain. Even with the tonkatsu sauce (I didn't use the one in this recipe but rather a store-bought version) it left something "empty". 5 stars nonetheless; I would make it again.

Really easy and really good. I used boneless pork in place of the chicken. I also used bottled Tonkatsu sauce. My 7 year old ate 3 of them---they were the size of a chicken breast. Will keep and make again!

Easy and awesome. Made my own sauce consisting of ketchup, mustard, soy, and worstershire. Probably could have used a little brown sugar, but didn't have any. Chicken came out crispy and super juicy inside. Lower heat on the oil would have made it lighter in color, but no biggie. My picky daughter even ate it and loved it.

You can vary this recipe by serving the chicken on top of shredded cabbage. Squeeze lemon on top and drizzle the tonkatsu sauce. I have a Japanese market by my house and there is a brand of ready made tonkatsu called Bulldog, it is really delicious. The tonkatsu, lemon, chicken and raw cabbage flavors blend deliciously. Great during the hot summer months!

I make this often and the sauce recipe has way too much worchestershire sauce. I use 1/2c each of sugar, ketchup, and shoyu, then add about 1 1/2T worchestershire sauce

Made this last night and we loved it but with changes. Seasoned the flour with ground ginger, garlic powder and white pepper. Then whisked the eggs with a lil low sodium soy sauce. And finally added garlic pepper, and very lil salt to the panko crumbs. Great flavor! 3 stars because I feel it was too plain as written. As for the sauce I made my own thing of ketchup, soy sauce, ginger, mirin, and sugar. It was pretty good.

YUM! I make this with pork, too, which is what I grew up with. I buy the tonkatsu sauce so I don't have to worry about making it!

This was really easy, and really good. I did as another reviewer suggested and made nuggets instead of strips. The panko coating is much better than normal chicken breading.

UPDATE: Ive made this again, and it is crucial that you season the chicken and bread crumbs very well so that the chicken isnt bland, and the tonkatsu sauce needs a lot of tweeking. It is way too tangy with the amount of worshtishere sauce called for, but i decreased it a lot to about only a tbs, and added brown sugar and low sodium soy sauce and the ketchup. But I would recommend getting the Kikkoman Tonkatsu sauce, maybe that tastes better, I'll keep trying to perfect the sauce! ORIGINAL REVIEW-The chicken was very very good, i seasoned it well with salt and pepper, and I love the way the panko crumbs give it such a great crispiness. As far as the tonkatsu sauce, the worshestire sauce overwhelmed it very much, so i started over and put only 2 tbs of Worshteshire and 1/4 of water, with 2 tbs of brown sugar, ketchup and soy sauce as called for, since the tonkatsu sauces Ive had before were more sweet.

I put my own spin on the whole thing a little. Since I didn't do it this way I can't give it any higher.

Quick and easy to make. The sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, though. Using sweet and sour sauce for a dip sweetened it up.

Well, my DH and I made this for dinner tonight. On the plus side, we enjoyed the super crispy coating that the panko made. But on the minus side, the chicken was pretty tasteless without the sauce; the breading measurements were WAY off and lastly the sauce was ridiculously gross, don't even waste your time with it (nor should you waste your time with the recipe in the member review). So all in all, the chicken was edible albeit, somewhat flavourless, so we probably won't make again.

very crispy! husband and toddler loved it! i used chicken tenders, stayed juicy.

Right on the money.

I never tasted Tonkatsu sauce, but I added a splash of Hoisin sauce and fiddled with the ingredient amounts to get it where I liked it! I loved the Panko crumbs, but even though I seasoned the chicken mercilessly, I found these to be incredibly bland in flavor. Husband liked it... but I will most likely search for a different recipe To try next. Thanks, BASKETBALL GIRL... for the starting point!

very easy and tasted just like a restaurant's. Definitely pound thin to ensure even cooking and I just seasoned the chicken thighs with salt and pepper before the flour step. Also the sauce makes way too much and is tart. Here's my recipe for sweeter tonkatsu sauce: 2 tbsp each of ketchup, worcestshire sauce and soy sauce. 1 tbsp hoisin sauce and add about 2 tsp of white sugar to sweeten it up. Boil until sauce thickens and use as a dipping sauce. Overall a lovely recipe.

note: this review is only for the sauce: this is very funny because i made sakuragirl1's chicken katsu recipe but used this sauce and didn't read the reviews. the chicken katsu from sakuragirl1 is fantastic but the sauce from this recipe is heinous. make sure you don't make the sauce - it's a waste of time.

The chicken Katsu part of this recipe is fabulous...a definite 5 star. But, as many others have noted, the Tonkatsu sauce was practically inedible. I wonder if the worcester sauce and soy sauce amounts were reversed? Despite the negative reviews, I followed the recipe exactly, tasted it, and agreed whole-heartedly with everyone else. So, I doctored it up a bit: added 2 more tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, and put it on the stove to simmer and thicken while I was cooking the chicken. It still wasn't great, but it was pretty good even if it didn't really taste like Tonkatsu sauce. So I'll keep looking for a sauce recipe, but thanks for the wonderful chicken katsu recipe! ETA: I made this again (really, really love this chicken katsu) and tweaked the Tonkatsu sauce recipe and loved it: 1/4 c. ketchup, 1/3 c. soy sauce, 1/4 c. worchester sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, garlic powder and pepper to taste. Hopefully that will help someone because this chicken katsu is really wonderful!
