First of all, if you haven't been to an L & L, you should go try it. It's a Hawaiian Barbecue restaurant. Second, they make the best breaded chicken. Not only that, but they make some amazing katsu sauce. It's full of flavor and for some reason, I can't get the sauce to thicken, but it seems like everyone else can.
L & L Katsu Sauce
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup ketchup
1 cup sugar
2-1/2 cups water
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chicken bouillon
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2-3 dashes Tabasco sauce
Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Add cornstarch dissolved in water to thicken. Chill & serve. (Mike & I usually half the recipe.)
L & L Chicken Katsu Batter
2 eggs
3/4 cups cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup water
15-20 chicken, about 4 pounds, boned and skinned
1 pound panko
Open the chicken and flatten. Combine first six ingredients. Coat chicken in the egg batter, then the panko. Fry in oil, maximum 325 degrees (Mike & I fry at 292 degrees) until brown and crispy.
Cut chicken into strips and serve with sauce. Serves 7-10. (Mike & I usually half this recipe too.)
