Wendell's Garlic Chicken Katsu


Wendell had been saving this recipe from the Crave section in the Star Advertiser since the end of December.  It's realtor George Yanai's signature dish.

I ate it with a Manabu musubi.  It was so tasty that I didn't need to add on the sauce.

• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, substitute fish or venison

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic

• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, substitute regular soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1/2 cup flour

• 1 large egg, beaten

• 1 cup panko

• Oil to fry chicken

• 3 tablespoons ketchup

• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

The day before: Prepare chicken by removing any fat and cartilage. Break into pieces naturally by separating the chicken into about 1-inch pieces. Mix marinade of garlic, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Put chicken in the marinade and refrigerate overnight or freeze for another time.

Fill a skillet with oil about 1/2-inch high. Prepare the breading by making three bowls with flour, egg and panko. Dip chicken piece in flour, then egg, then panko and put into unheated skillet. When skillet is filled with chicken, turn heat on to medium-high heat. Turn over in about 2 1/2 minutes and continue cooking until browned. Remove cooked chicken and drain on plate covered with paper towels. Continue with next batch until completed. Serve hot or at room temperature with ketchup and Worcestershire sauce mixed together.

Serves 4-6 as a main course, or more as an appetizer.

Looks good. So you put oil in the unheated skillet and fill it with the breaded chicken until full and then turn on the heat? Interesting way of frying. Might just be ambitious enough to try. LOL

The musubi looks ono with the knob. Does Wendell also make a Katsu sauce?

Izsmom, I thought that was so strange. Hope you get to try.

Kat, it was nice and crispy.

Chet, he made the ketchup/worcestershire sauce.
