- Season the two sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In three separate shallow bowls, prepare the panko breadcrumbs, egg, and flour.
- Shake off any excess flour, egg, and bread crumbs before coating each chicken piece in turn, making sure to coat each side evenly. Place aside.
- Over medium heat, prepare at least 1 1/2″ of oil in a large skillet. Cook for three to four minutes on each side, or until golden brown, when the oil reaches 340°F (170°C).Enjoy it with tonkatsu sauce!
