Chicken Katsu in Honey Glaze Recipe
A sweet and citrusy chicken katsu! This is a tasty version of a katsu recipe with panko-crusted chicken and a perfect honey glaze.
The secret to a crunchy katsu is in the panko bread crumbs. Panko is lighter, crispier and flakier than ordinary breadcrumbs. Because panko is lighter, it absorbs less oil making fried foods less heavy. If in case you don’t have any panko in your pantry, you can use cornflakes, pretzels, or tortilla chips. And add some herbs and spices to elevate the flavor.
