This is the original recipe given to me by HELLZZARMY:

Chicken Katsu is Japanese style fried chicken and is most often served with Tonkatsu sauce.
Ingredients:

•chicken breasts or thighs - de-boned and flattened (one per guest)
•flour
•eggs
•panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
•vegetable oil
•Tonkatsu sauce

Preparation:
Heat oil in frying pan. Coat chicken with flour, dip in beaten egg and roll in panko breadcrumbs. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Slice and serve with tonkatsu sauce for dipping. As an alternative you can marinate the chicken for up to one hour before cooking in a sake marinade combining 2 tablespoons, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon minced ginger and 1 teaspoon minced garlic, blended well.
Tonkatsu Sauce (variation 1)

•1 cup catsup
•1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
•1/2 cup sake
•2 tablespoons ginger
•2 tablespoons garlic
•1/4 cup sugar
•1/4 cup mirin

Put all above ingredients in sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium heat stirring occasionally. Reduce to a simmer for 25-30 minutes skimming any foam that rises to the top. Will keep refrigerated for 4 weeks Yield: 3 cups

Tonkatsu Sauce (variation 2)

•1/2 cup catsup
•1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
•1/2 teaspoon dry mustard mixed with a little water
Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Makes 3/4 cup

Tonkatsu sauce can also be purchased in bottled form at many grocery stores or oriental food stores.

@smellycat389 thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed it:)

[waceface]

what is the chicken marinated in?

[untouchblz]

@waceface I used soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. You can also use fish sauce as marinade to to add more depth. Thanks for the question, and for watching!

[untouchblz]

@CinemaAny Thanks for the comment, hope you do try this recipe soon! It always bring me back to the shores of Hawai'i. I noticed your hometown is Mayaguez ...fellow Boricua perhaps? My parents were born and raised in Ponce.

Mahalo for recipe, but every time I hear Iz sing this, or watch video of the Na Hoku awards where he sang this and made ho`oponopono with John, Jerome & Moon, I cry. can't help it. It is so touching. And I sure wish the kids would listen to what Iz said.
