Chicken Katsu Sliders

When it comes to finger foods and football games, I always go with Chicken-Katsu sliders. They are easy to make, and with the quantity of sliders you can make with three chicken thighs, they are so easy to share! Although I'm a huge fan of burgers and hot dogs on gamedays, I discovered sliders are easier because they doesn't require a grill and are extremely filling. They are best served with air-fried, waffle-cut fries, and are by far the best game-time snacks to share with friends. Be careful, they disappear quickly!

Ingredients:

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• 1/2 cup plain flour

• 2 teaspoons curry powder

• Salt and Black Pepper to taste

• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

• 1.5 cups panko crumbs

• Vegetable oil for cooking

• Knob of butter

• Coleslaw

• Hawaiian bread rolls

Steps:

• Cut chicken into pieces - roughly the same size as the bread rolls

• In the first bowl, place flour and curry powder and season with salt and pepper

• In the second bowl, whisk the eggs and soy sauce together

• In the third bowl, fill with panko crumbs

• Dust the chicken in the flour mixture, shake off the excess

• Dip chicken into egg mixture, then coat in the panko crumbs. Make sure to press the panko to the chicken so they adhere well

• Heat oil in a large pan on medium heat, then add butter

• Once oil is sizzling, cook the chicken until golden and cooked through.

• Take out and absorb excess oil

• Split Hawaiian bread rolls in half, slightly toast

• Assemble: Add coleslaw (you can buy from store) on bun, top with chicken katsu

• **You're welcome to add pickles and spread mayonnaise on the roll, but I'm not a fan of either - Your preference
