Ingredients List

Katsu Sauce Ingredients:

• ½ cup ketchup

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon sherry

• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

• 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Chicken Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced in half horizontally

• 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

• 2 large eggs, beaten

• 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs

• cooking spray

Instructions

Start by collecting all the ingredients.

To make the sauce, combine ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, sherry, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic in a bowl, whisking until the sugar dissolves. Set the katsu sauce aside. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Place the chicken pieces on a clean surface and season them with salt and pepper.

In a shallow dish, place the beaten eggs. In another shallow dish, pour the breadcrumbs. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg, then coat them in breadcrumbs. Repeat the process by dipping the chicken back into the egg, then the breadcrumbs again, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.

Arrange the breaded chicken pieces in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray.

Air fry the chicken for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces over with a spatula, then spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray. Continue cooking for another 8 minutes. Once done, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice. Serve with the homemade katsu sauce.

Serve the chicken with the katsu sauce and enjoy your delicious meal!
