Karaage (からあげ=Japanese style fried chicken)
Karaage is one of the most popular Japanese dishes. Tips: Marinate chicken in a mix of soy sauce, sake, ginger, and garlic for about 15min-1 hour in a refrigerator before frying. I have optimized this recipe, and my husband love it the most:)
1. Prepare the following ingredients.
- 300g boneless chicken thigh (cut into bite-size pieces) or chicken drumette
- Ginger (about 1 inch): peel and grate it
- 1 piece of garlic: chop into small size
- 2 table spoons soy sauce
- 2 table spoons Japanese cooking sake (料理酒=cooking alcohol)
- Flour
2. Combine grated ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and Japanese cooking sake in a bowl
3. Add chicken in the marinade. Mix well by hand, and marinate them for 15min-1h.
4. Coat the chicken evenly and lightly with flour
5. Deep-fly at 160℃-170℃ (for about 5min, but please check the chicken by yourself)
6. Enjoy!
