Method

Ingredients

Season the chicken, then dip into the egg, ginger and panko crumbs respectively until coated on both sides.

Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and cook the chicken for 3 minutes on each side. Drain on kitchen paper.

Cook's note: “Tender, deep-fried chicken covered in crispy golden crumbs can be found at the many izikayas in Tokyo. It was one of the first things I ate when I stepped off the plane. (You’ll also find breaded pork cutlets, called tonkatsu). It’s delicious with the katsu dipping sauce.” Abigail Donnelly
