Air Fryer Chicken Katsu
This light and crispy Air Fryer Chicken Katsu is honestly a staple in my recipe rotation. There are many ways to eat chicken katsu - on top of rice, in a sandwich, or with some Japanese curry. All made easier with the help of an air fryer!
Ingredients
- 2 chicken thighs
- pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 1 egg (whisked)
- 1 cup panko
- neutral oil (in spray bottle)
Instructions
- Optional - tenderise the chicken by laying a piece of clingfilm over the thigh and lightly smacking it with a rolling pin.
- Season the chicken thigh with salt and set aside whilst you prepare the other ingredients.
- Arrange the egg, panko, and cornflour onto 3 separate trays or plates.
- Start by coating the chicken in cornflour, then egg, and lastly the panko.
- Spray thoroughly with a neutral oil and cook in the air fryer on a high heat (approx 200°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Flip halfway.
- Once golden and crispy, serve and enjoy!
