Ingredients
•
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
•
1/4 cup ketchup
•
2 tablespoons soy sauce
•
pepper to taste
•
2 cups vegetable oil, for deep-fat frying
•
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
•
salt and pepper to taste
•
1 egg, beaten
•
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
•
1 green onion, thinly sliced
Directions
1
For the sauce, stir together the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and soy sauce, and a pinch of pepper to taste. Set aside.
2
Heat oil in deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3
Place flour and panko bread crumbs onto separate plates and season with salt and pepper. Place the beaten egg in a medium bowl. Dip flattened chicken pieces first into flour, then egg, and lastly bread crumbs.
4
Fry breaded chicken breasts in preheated oil until golden brown and no longer pink in center, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Slice chicken into thin strips and top with a drizzle of sauce and a sprinkling of sliced green onions. Serve remaining sauce on the side for dipping.
