Ok, so I love Polynesian food...well, my husband is practically obsessed with is, so I eat it and love it too. One of his favorite Chicken dishes is Chicken Katsu. He has not had really good Chicken Katsu since he left Hawaii, but we find a decent one every now and again. Well, there is this sweet woman that lives in Rexburg that used to live in Hawaii that is kind enough to send me her Chicken Katsu recipe. Yuuuuummy!
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup cornstarch
- ¼ t. salt
- ¼ t. white pepper
- ¼ t. garlic powder
- 1 cup water
- 4 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs (this is about all the Polynesia people eat are thighs. I like them the best!)
- 1 lb. panko
1. Open chicken thighs and flatten with rolling pin. Combine eggs, cornstarch, salt, white pepper, garlic powder, and water to make batter. Coat chicken in egg batter, then roll in panko crumbs. Fry in oil until brown and crispy. Cut chicken up in strips
