Ingrediënten

4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs

Salt and pepper, to season

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 ½ cups Panko breadcrumbs

1/4 cup neutral oil (canola or vegetable oil) or cooking spray for air frying

Instructies

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.

Coat each piece of chicken in flour, making sure it’s evenly coated.

Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs.

Finally, press the chicken into the Panko breadcrumbs, coating it thoroughly.

Traditional Frying: Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the chicken in the pan and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through

Air Fryer Option: Lightly coat the chicken with oil or cooking spray. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and cook the chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and fully cooked.

Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest briefly. Slice and serve with tonkatsu sauce, kewpie mayo, and a side of rice and fresh vegetables.
