Baked Chicken Katsu
There is nothing more satisfying than biting into freshly made crunchy katsu, and this baked chicken katsu is no different. Deep frying is the usual method to cook a katsu, but Nami from Just One Cookbook came up with a baked version making this a healthier option. Since no deep frying was involved, the clean up was a breeze, which left me with plenty of energy to focus on eating. ;)
A baked katsu is only possible for those with an oven. If you don’t have an oven handy and do not mind deep frying, you can follow my recipe for making katsu the traditional way.

It will makes anyone who eats feel full :9
Good with boned chicken thighs also. But after 20 min. @ 400°F I added another 15 min @ 350°F. Meat should be at 165°
