Ok...I changed this recipe ALOT. Not because it was bad, but just to suit my needs. I used chicken drumsticks, which I pan fried until dark and crispy. then I coated with Tonkatsu sauce and baked at 350 for 35 minutes. It was absolutely delicious. Husband loved it. For the sauce I simmered 1/4 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup worchester, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup soy sauce until reduced slightly. Then I added 1 TB dijon mustard and 1/2 ts ground allspice. Putting this in the review so that I can remember it :) So good!

This was great as is. I tried "Tonkatsu / Katsu Sauce" which tasted good. Then I tasted the chicken with "Wasabi Mayonnaise Sauce" and it tasted even better. Finally, I added "Tonkatsu / Katsu Sauce" and "Wasabi Mayonnaise Sauce" and it tasted great. Served with Sesame Noodles" and "Cucumber Sonomo."

the chicken by itself is really pretty uneventful. it needs a splash of something -- garlic powder, onion powder, even cajun spice. i mixed up some of the recommended sauce, and it gave it the needed flavor. why 4 stars? the husband, who is the pickiest man ever, really liked it, and has asked for it again.

I tried this in my search for a great katsu recipe. This is my second favorite after Shin98's Tonkatsu recipe. This is good as is, but some suggestions to try: Pound thin to 1/4" which helps with cooking thru before you scorch your breading. Use fresh crushed asian peppers added to the flour for heat (a little goes a long way). In fact, add powdered ginger and powdered garlic to the flour for more asian flavors. Just be careful as powdered ginger can be overwhelming. For a sauce, you can either make a tonkatsu sauce from this site, or you can go with my long-time favorite, Bull-Dog Vegetable & Fruit Tonkatsu Sauce (can order online if not at your local asian market).

I loved this chicken, it was deliciously crispy and tender just like something you'd buy at a restaurant. I WAY oversalted it, but that was my own fault! I served it with sesame noodles I made up on the fly: thin spaghetti, butter, olive oil, a splash of soy sauce, a splash of sesame oil, a little salt and a whole mess of sesame seeds. It also would have been good with some broccoli added in. **Update** I can't stop making it, it's just SO crispy/tender/perfect! Lately I've been serving it with a salad and a toasted roll with butter - I don't even make any sauce for it - and it's sooooo good that way!

crunchy and yummy! I seasoned the flour a bit more by adding onion powder and using garlic salt in place of standard salt. I omitted the oil and fried in butter as I prefer the flavor. I made a Tonkatsu sauce of ketchup, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce,and garlic, and served it with lightly sauteed onions and bell peppers, and a side of jasmine rice. Tasty and fun to eat Japanese at home!

I've cooked this a few times and it's great with cabbage and tonkatsu. The few times I cooked it, it gotta pretty dark from having the oil too hot, once I got the oil temp under control the chicken tasted 10x better. great recipe, easy and the whole family loves it.

What an awesome recipe! I made this last night with another katsu sauce recipe. I made following the recipe (flattening the chicken has to e the best stress relief I have found), it tasted better than the katsu at the restaurant. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a fantastic recipe. As many other reviewers mentioned, it was slightly bland so I would recommend making a sauce with it. Also, I added some coconut extract to the egg mixture and that gave it a really nice flavor. My picky daughter devoured it, so it's definitely a winning recipe in my book!

For the blandness, just remember to season the flour beforehand. Also, if you have access to an Asian grocery market, get yourself some tonkatsu sauce to put on the chicken, it's great stuff!

Like others said - defintely NOT enough of the breading for the chicken. It is a good recipe, but the measurements need to be accurate. It is a bit bland - but that is what panko crumbs are. Will try a sauce with it next time as others have suggested.

This is a great recipe. I did change it up a bit to make it flavorful and easier. I used two chicken breast and cut them in half so the chicken would be thinner. I then seasoned with some garlic powder, blacl pepper, lemon pepper, and a little red pepper on each side. I put the halves inside a zip lock bag and pressed all of the air out before before sealing. I then used a wooden tenderizer and beat each side. I then cut the halves in half again to make thin chicken tenders. After that I heated the oil. While the oil was heating I took out three bowls (two regular size, one big) and made an assembly line towards the heating oil. First bowl has flour, second bowl has beaten egg, and third bowl (the bigger one) has some panko bread crumbs. I then put a plate with paper towels on the other side of the heated oil pan. After this set up just use a fork to dip the chicken in the flour, then the egg, then the crumbs. Then fry and put on plate. I always found assembly lines easier when making this type of food. I used the store bought tonkatsu sauce by kikkoman with the chicken and served with brown rice topped with a little gomaiso (salt and sesame seasoning), and an asian coleslaw mix (i added a little sesame oil to it) that i got from the bagged vegetable section at the grocery store, its just shreded napa cabbage with a little carrot and celery. Closest thing to an authentic Japanese dish :)Thanks for posting the recipe. Hopfully more will discover the beauty of panko bread crumb
