- 2 tsp Grated ginger
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1/3 tsp Salt
- 10 grams Japanese mayonnaise
- 150 grams Katakuriko

- 1 Frying oil
- Put the chicken in a bowl, add the sake, and mix.
- Let it sit for 30 minutes or more.
- Add the grated ginger, soy sauce, and salt to the chicken in the bowl from Step 1, and let it marinate for 30 minutes.
- Add the dry mixture in a plastic bag and mix.
- Add mayonnaise to the Step 2 bowl, and mix.
- Add the chicken from Step 4 to the Step 3 plastic bag with the katakuriko and flour.
- Shake to coat.
- Deep fry both sides until browned.
