Steps:
- Combine the chicken with the garlic, ginger, soy, sake, sesame oil, and sugar in a bowl until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
- Heat oil in a pot over high heat until about 340°F (170°C).
- Give the chicken a stir to re-incorporate the marinade, then sprinkle the potato starch on top. Lightly toss until somewhat combined, but do not mix until each chicken piece is evenly coated because the uneven pockets of potato starch will give the chicken its signature unique texture.
- Fry half of the chicken at a time, until light golden and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes. The oil temperature will drop to about 320°F (160°C). Rest the chicken on paper towels and increase the heat.
- Heat oil to about 390°F (200°C), then fry the chicken again for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Drain the chicken on paper towels.
- Serve with lemon and parsley.
- Enjoy!

Very easy to make and my guests enjoy it a lot! It can be served as an appetizer, or over a bed of rice as a quick weekday dinner! I usually marinate the night before to give it more flavor, but if it's a last-minute meal you are preparing, no worries, because there's still dipping sauce! Serve hot with shredded lettuce and a lemon wedge.

CHICKEN KARAAGE
There are many versions of this classic Japanese dish. It's really delicious and served at many Japanese restaurants, usually served over white rice. If you can find it at an Asian market, it's better to use Chinese soup powder in place of the chicken bouillon powder as it has a distinct Asian flair to it. But it's not always...

Steps:
- 1. Mix the soy sauce, sake, ginger, garlic, bouillon, and green onion in a small bowl. Add chicken pieces, and marinate in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- 2. Remove chicken from the marinade (discarding marinade). Add chicken and katakuriko/cornstarch to a bowl, and mix well (until all chicken pieces are evenly coated).
- 3. Heat oil to 375°F (190°C), and fry chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes. You might have to do this in batches, as you don't want to fry too many pieces at once as it will not get crispy enough.
- 4. Transfer chicken to paper towel-lined plate to absorb oil. Repeat until all chicken is fried.
Tips:
- Use fresh chicken thighs: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are the best choice for karaage because they are tender and flavorful.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces: This will help the chicken cook evenly and quickly.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Use a light coating of cornstarch: This will help the chicken stay crispy.
- Fry the chicken in hot oil: This will help the chicken cook quickly and evenly.
- Serve the chicken immediately: Karaage is best served hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Karaage is a delicious and easy-to-make Japanese fried chicken dish. With its crispy coating and tender, flavorful meat, karaage is a popular choice for both home cooks and restaurant diners. By following the tips above, you can make karaage that is sure to impress your family and friends.
