My Family's Crispy and Juicy Chicken Karaage
- 350 grams Chicken thighs
- 1 1/2 tbsp Versatile Garlic Soy Sauce
- 2 tsp Mirin
- 1 knob's worth Ginger juice (grated)
- 1 Katakuriko
- 1 Salt and pepper
- 1 Frying oil
- I use garlic soy sauce that I made in advance for a seasoning.
- If you don't have it, use 1.5 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 clove of grated garlic.
- Mix the garlic soy sauce, ginger juice, mirin, salt and pepper in a zip-lock bag.
- Cut the chicken into a bite size.
- The best size is one that you might think is too big for an easy bite.
- Put the chicken into the zip-lock bag, and rub it to season.
- Release the air and seal the bag, and let it marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Discard excess marinade if needed.
- Add in the katakuriko and rub on the chicken before frying.
- Heat oil to 355F/180C and deep-fry the chicken for a few minutes, until the coat is no longer soft, and bit browned.
- Take them out and leave for 3 - 4 minutes to cook with the residual heat.
- When you want to make a lot, deep-fry the next batch for tame-saving.
- After that, deep-fry again for 30 - 40 seconds to make them crispy.
