About
Chicken Katsu is a traditional Japanese comfort, a lightly fried chicken cutlet with exceptional crunch. As a result, Chicken Katsu is juicy in a crispy crust with just the right amount of seasoning. The crust itself is almost airy, perfect for a lighter main course just as hearty as other fried chicken. Whether you slice it, sandwich it, or serve it alongside a fresh salad, Chicken Katsu is a meal you can enjoy out loud!
