Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken)

Chicken Karaage is a Japanese version of fried chicken. It is different from traditional fried chicken like KFC’s, it’s more like Bonchon’s in taste (which is Korean, btw) but without the sauce.

The chicken  is marinated with ginger and sake and coated with potato starch (or cornstarch) before frying which gives a yummy crunch to the chicken even without any skin on.

I served it with rice topped with simple furikake – deep-fried nori and roasted peanuts and sesame seeds. Simple and delicious.

Marinate chicken in sake and soy sauce with ginger for at least an hour..

..add potato/corn starch

..and fry until golden

Serve…with rice; wrapped in lettuce or in a tortilla..your choice.  Happy Eating! ü
