The Crispiest Air Fryer Chicken Katsu Relies On 2 Extra Steps - Tasting Table
Briefly

Air frying chicken katsu instead of shallow frying can offer a delicious crispy crust without the heaviness of oil, making it a healthier option.
While air frying eliminates the frying stage, it’s important to coat panko with a little oil to enhance flavor and ensure a satisfying crunch.
Chicken thighs take longer to cook than breasts, requiring 12 to 16 minutes in the air fryer with a flip halfway through for even crisping.
Using too much cooking spray can lead to added flavors that aren't desirable, so a light spritz is recommended to maintain taste.
