Air Fryer Chicken Katsu Recipe
Have a Japanese night with air fryer chicken katsu that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is a healthier take on deep-fried chicken katsu since it is cooked in an air fryer with little to no oil! Serve this with a bowl of rice and a side of Japanese curry or teriyaki sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 skinless boneless chicken breast
- 3 garlic cloves sliced
- 1 tbsp of cooking wine
- 1 tbsp of light soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1/2 tsp of white pepper
- Black pepper powder adjust to taste
- 1 cup of cornstarch
- 2 beaten eggs
- 1 ½ cups of bread crumbs
- Oil for spraying
Instructions
- Slice the chicken in half. Tenderize the chicken breast using the back of the knife or a meat tenderizer. The chicken should be flattened to cook evenly in the air fryer.
- Marinate the chicken for 10 minutes or more with garlic slices, cooking wine, light soy sauce, salt, white pepper, and black pepper powder.
- Coat the marinated chicken with a layer of cornstarch.
- Beat the eggs and dip the chicken into the beaten eggs.
- Coat the chicken on both sides with bread crumbs.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper, place the coated chicken, and spray with oil.
- Set the air fryer at 356°F and cook for 20 minutes. Flip the chicken halfway through the cooking time to cook the other side.
- Serve with a drizzle of tomato ketchup, katsu sauce, or teriyaki sauce.
