Ingredients:
- 11 oz chicken breast skinless boneless
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1 large beaten egg
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs or Japanese breadcrumbs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Sauce:
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 2.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp white sugar
Instructions:
- Butterfly your chicken breast.
- Lay plastic wrap to cover the chicken breast. Pro-tip: use the back and side of your knife to tenderize the chicken breast until it’s 1.25 cm. Slice down the center of the chicken breast and cut it in half.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste on both sides.
- Coat chicken with all purpose flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs or Japanese breadcrumbs.
- In a wok, heat oil until it’s hot. To test, insert a wooden chopstick into the oil and look for bubbles at the tip of the chopstick. If you see bubbles, the oil is hot enough for frying.
- Important: gently lower chicken away from you. Fry about 3-4 min each side until golden brown with internal temperature of 165°F.
- Make sauce with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce and sugar, mix together. Enjoy!
