hi hello everyone! Wesley here. This is a recipe adding to our Bay Area restaurant hack series, for a chicken katsu from an Oakland staple of the community called Shogun. Apart from a number of classic sushi rolls that you can find at Shogun, they also have one of my favorite chicken katsu plates in town, so I thought I pay homage to this spot today.

For those not familiar, a chicken katsu is a battered and breaded chicken breast cutlet coated in panko breadcrumb, then deepfried to golden brown awesomeness. It can be served with a number of different sides, but my personal favorite are some pickled daikon radish, and of course, a classic sweet and savory katsu sauce. Hope you try it.

It will be out on Friday March 19, 2021, so bookmark the recipe here, and be sure to subscribe and hit the bell on YouTube to get notified when it’s out!

Woo Can Cook is a series where we reproduce fun foods and recipes from my childhood. Some of them are authentically Chinese and/or pan-Asian, but a lot of them are odd Americanized versions that I inherited from my parents and grandparents while growing up in the Bay Area/California.
