Next, let the oil heat up over medium heat (but not too hot). If necessary, you can check the oil's heat by inserting the tip of a stick into the oil. If lots of bubbles appear, the oil is hot enough.

At that stage, immediately put in the chicken pieces that have been coated with flour. Make sure the chicken is completely submerged in the oil. After that, fry the chicken katsu with medium heat. When frying, avoid turning the chicken over because it can burn. Just turn it over once when the bottom is starting to crisp.

Now, if the chicken katsu has changed color to golden brown, drain it immediately. Place it in an oil drainer in a vertical position so that no oil pools in the middle of the chicken katsu. Then when the oil is gone, this chicken katsu can be cut into pieces to be served with white rice and salad.
Shortly after being cut, Instagram user @umahawak showed the inside of the fried chicken katsu. Although the outside is crispy, the inside of the chicken meat is still juicy, not dry, but still perfectly cooked. Guaranteed to taste delicious and soft when eaten.
