Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Katsu.
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C) following the manufacturer's guidelines.
Step 2
While that heats up, grab a shallow bowl or a small casserole dish and beat an egg with a pinch of salt until it’s nicely blended.
Step 3
Next, spread panko breadcrumbs evenly on a plate, creating a crispy coating station.
Step 4
Now, take each chicken cutlet and dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip back into the bowl.
Step 5
Then, coat both sides of the cutlet with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to make sure they stick well.
Step 6
Once coated, place the cutlets on a piece of parchment paper, ready for their air-frying adventure.
Step 7
Lightly spray both sides of the cutlets with avocado oil cooking spray to help them achieve that perfect golden crunch.
Step 8
Arrange the cutlets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space to crisp up beautifully.
Step 9
Air-fry the chicken for about 5 minutes, then carefully flip the cutlets over and continue air-frying for another 4 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
Step 10
When they’re done, serve your delicious chicken katsu drizzled with barbecue sauce and topped with a sprinkle of chopped green onions for that extra pop of flavor.
Step 11
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
