My Family's Chicken Kara-age
- 1 fillet Chicken thigh
- 1 grams Garlic powder
- 1 up to 3/4 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 Katakuriko and oil for deep frying
- Chop off excess fat from the chicken thigh and chop into 6 pieces, depending on the size of the meat.
- Make a cut into the thick meat sections and sinew.
- Put the chopped chicken from Step 1 in a bowl, and sprinkle in a generous amount of garlic powder.
- Pour in the soy sauce and rub it in.
- Add the katakuriko, heat the oil to 180, then deep fry chicken.
- Increase the heat to 200C, and fry until golden brown.
- Then it's ready to serve.
- In our home, we serve this with a mixture of roasted salt and Szechuan pepper.
- I tried making it with double the amount of chicken.
- Also, since I'm on a diet, I removed the skin and fat.
- This way, 565 g of chicken was reduced to 449 g.
- This is the garlic powder that I use.
- 30 shakes amounts to 1 g of powder.
- When I measured 60 shakes, it came to 2 g. With 5 more shakes, it weighed 3 g.
- 60 shakes came to about 4/5 teaspoon.
- If removing the skin, reduce the amount of soy sauce by a touch.
- After adding the soy sauce, thoroughly rub it into the meat.
- If you rub it into the meat, there will be no need to marinate.
- For when I was in a dieting mode, I used the "healthy" setting on my oven for the first time.
- For kara-age, it takes 32 minutes.
- After 32 minutes, they're done!
- They look just like regular kara-age.
- But admittedly, these taste better deep fried.
- I also recommend leaving the skin on.
- To recap: Depending on the size of the chicken, 1 g of garlic powder is needed for each piece of chicken.
- Adjust the amount of salt to taste.
- If not serving with Szechuan pepper, try serving it with salt and sesame and garlic powder.
