Crispy Chicken Katsu with Tonkatsu Sauce – A Japanese Classic Made Simple

What is tonkatsu sauce made of?
It’s typically a mix of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and sugar—sweet, savory, and tangy.

Can I bake Chicken Katsu instead of frying?
Yes, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispness.

What can I serve it with?
Steamed rice, cabbage salad, miso soup, or pickled vegetables all complement this dish beautifully.
