Chicken katsu (pictured) and chicken karaage are both Japanese fried chicken dishes, says almansa, but they are distinct. “Chicken katsu is sliced breaded breast, while karaage is usually leg marinated in soy and sake before frying,” says almansa. “Katsu is more like chicken tenders from a box, while karaage is more like what we think of as fried chicken.”
Chicken katsu is a variant of the dish tonkatsu, says trolley, which is breaded pork cutlet. It’s usually served with rice, shredded cabbage, and a thick sauce made from apple purée that resembles Worcestershire. Chicken karaage, on the other hand, is not sauced as much. It’s usually served with mayonnaise and lemon, says almansa. “My mom usually uses cornstarch to make it super crispy,” says trolley. “We eat ours with a lemon wedge and sometimes a dash of shoyu. No mayo here,” he says.

Sorry, I meant, they don't use any eggs, panko, just regular flour for "Kara age" The word "age" means deep fried.

Hi, I'm a Japanese and will tell you what you guys don't know. The word "Katsu" means it's breaded with panko. They don't use any eggs, panko, just regular flour. We don't have all-purpose flour in Japan and ppl usually use what we call, "Hakuriki ko", low gluten flour, for pretty much for any kind of cooking. The way it's served has nothing to do with the name of the dish. Meanwhile, "Ton" means pork in the word, "Tonkatsu", so it's breaded pork. We also have a dish called, "Tatsuta age". This is similar to "Kara age", but we use different flour called "Katakuri ko" which is used to be made of Katakuri root, but nowadays it's made from potatoes. Obviously, Using Katakuri ko will result in different texture.-COLLAPSE
