Chicken Katsu Tacos Recipe By Tasty

CHICKEN KATSU TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the chicken: Fill a heavy-bottomed, high-sided skillet with about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) of vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until all of the thighs are between ¼ in (6 ml) and ⅓ inch (8 ml) thick.
• On the cutting board, season the flattened chicken on both sides with the salt.
• Add the panko, eggs, and flour to 3 separate shallow bowls.
• Coat each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess, then in the egg, then in the panko. Gently press the panko into the chicken to ensure a thick, even coating.
• Working in batches, carefully fry the chicken in the hot oil for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Set on paper towels to drain and immediately season lightly with salt.
• Make the tonkatsu sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
• Make the cabbage slaw: In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage, mayonnaise, vinegar, and salt until well coated. Season with additional salt if needed. Set aside.
• Wrap the tortillas in a damp kitchen towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
• Slice the chicken thighs into ⅓-inch (8 ml) thick pieces. Place about half of a thigh worth of meat onto a flour tortilla. Top with about ¼ cup (25 G) of cabbage slaw, a drizzle of tonkatsu sauce, sesame seeds, scallions, and cilantro. Repeat with remaining chicken to make 8 tacos total. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

Steps:

• Make the tonkatsu sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar until combined. Set aside.
• Make the sandwich: Heat 2 inches of canola oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350˚F (180˚C).
• Slice through the thick part of the chicken thigh so it an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Add the flour, egg, and panko to 3 separate shallow dishes.
• Coat the chicken thigh in the flour, then the egg, then the panko.
• To test the oil temperature, add a pinch of panko-if it sizzles immediately, it's ready for frying. Carefully fry the chicken for about 2 minutes per each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and hot mustard.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the mayonnaise sauce on each piece of toasted bread. On one side, layer on the cabbage, a drizzle of tonkatsu sauce, the chicken, and more tonkatsu sauce. Top with the other slice of bread.
• Cut the sandwich in half, then serve.
