Description
BArney BaBarnThe ultimate chicken katsu curry, juicy milk-brined chicken in a shatteringly crisp panko crust, served with a rich, silky homemade Japanese-style curry sauce. Barney Desmazery from the Good Food test kitchen shows you how to fix the three things that let most katsu down: bland chicken, a soft crust and a one-note sauce. Subscribe to Good Food: https://bit.ly/GoodFoodSubscribe The secret is seasoning every layer: chicken soaked in salted milk to keep it tender, flour spiked with shichimi togarashi, and an egg wash seasoned with soy sauce. The curry sauce gets deep umami from miso, sweetness from honey and ketchup, and blends to a velvety finish with no cornflour needed. Rest the katsu on a wire rack so it stays crunchy, then serve with rice and sesame seeds. #goodfood #katsucurry #chickenkatsu 0:00 Intro: why most katsu falls flat 1:20 Preparing and milk-brining the chicken 2:57 Breading: togarashi flour, soy egg wash and panko 4:56 Making the homemade curry sauce 7:02 Frying the katsu 8:33 Slicing, plating and serving For home cooking a recipes visit: https://www.goodfood.com/ Good Food is home to over 18,000 tested, tasted, trusted recipes.
