Crispy Chicken Sandwich Recipe チキンカツサンド

What’s the best part about deep fried Chicken Katsu? Of course the golden crispy katsu shell with the juicy chicken! I am getting hungry just thinking about it. Besides enjoying by itself, another way that I love to enjoy this satisfying dish is between 2 slices of toast as crispy chicken sandwich.

Have you had it before? Maybe in Japan? I look forward to eating the katsu sandwich the following day after cooking and I always make sure that we have enough leftover so that everyone in my family get to enjoy (or more like I get to enjoy). It’s so good and totally worth waiting.

But deep frying can be totally in pain (even for me). Too much oil goes to waste (unless you re-use it soon), and the house smells horrible, the stove top gets greasy, and I know, you want to stay healthy by avoiding as much deep fried foods as possible. I make deep fried foods once in a while at home because homemade ones taste much better than ones in restaurants.

Ingredients

1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) (1 cup = 60 g)
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (1 lb = 2 pieces)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
1 Tbsp water
¼ cup all-purpose flour (¼ cup = 30 g)
½ English cucumber
2 tomatoes
unsalted butter
4 toasts (I use Japanese “shokupan”)
Lettuce leaves
Garlic Tonkatsu Sauce
1 head garlic
1-2 Tbsp Tonkatsu Sauce (See Notes for homemade recipe)
1-2 Tbsp Japanese mayonnaise

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients.

Crispy Chicken Sandwich Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Set a rack in the middle position. Start from Garlic Tonkatsu Sauce. Using your fingers, peel away most of the loose outer layers around the head of garlic. Trim about ¼ inch off the top of the head of garlic. Drizzle about 1-2 tsp. of olive oil over the exposed surface of the garlic and let the oil sink into the cloves.
