Everyone loves fried chicken (Well, except meat omitting eaters! Soz!), there is just something so alluring about crunchy coated poultry. My favourite way is Japanese Katsu style fried chicken with panko breadcrumbs. This is obviously delicious but very unhealthy. When I was trying to think of ways to use LSA this week, I didn’t want to just focus on the obvious – LSA on fruit or a tablespoon hidden in a cake – I wanted LSA to be the star of the show. This means savoury options as well as sweet! Using LSA to make Japanese Katsu is an excellent way to enjoy what’s a traditionally high in fat and gluten dish. Baking it uses less oil but crisps it up just as well.
