Instructions
- 1
Butterfly each chicken breast horizontally to an even 1/2-inch thickness, then pound lightly between plastic wrap and season both sides with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp white pepper.
- 2
Set up a breading station of flour, beaten eggs, and panko in three shallow dishes, then dredge each cutlet in flour, dip fully in egg, and press firmly into the panko to coat completely.
- 3
Heat the oil in a deep skillet to 340°F, verifying the temperature with a thermometer or by dropping in a few crumbs that should sizzle steadily without browning instantly.
- 4
Fry the cutlets one or two at a time for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning once, until deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- 5
Drain on a wire rack set over paper towels for 2 minutes, then slice crosswise into 3/4-inch strips, keeping the cutlet shape intact, and serve fanned over rice with tonkatsu sauce drizzled on top.
