Air Fryer Chicken Katsu
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Prep the chicken: If you’re using large chicken breasts, cut them in half lengthwise, into thin cutlets. They should all be the same thickness so that they cook evenly.
Prep the breading station: Arrange three shallow bowls. Put the flour, salt, and pepper in the first bowl. Crack an egg and whisk it in the second bowl. Add the breadcrumbs to the third bowl.
Bread the chicken: Coat a cutlet in flour, then egg, and then breadcrumbs. Repeat for all cutlets and place them on the air fryer tray, or in the basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on your air fryer – see notes.
Cook the chicken: Cook the chicken for 6 minutes. Flip and then cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through.
Let sit for 4-5 minutes before cutting into so they stay juicy inside.
