Chicken Karaage Recipe

I love the chicken karaage at a local Japanese restaurant and I started looking for a recipe to see if I can make it on my own. Below is a really great recipe. It's actually not so hard to make. Dark meat tastes better to me but sometimes I make it with white meat for health reason. Yes... to make a fried dish slightly healthier!



Recipe:
Cut chicken meat into small pieces.
Marinate chicken meat in the following marinade:
- 6 Tbsp. sake
- 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. grated ginger juice
- A splash of sesame oil
Marinate for an hour.
Roll in cornstarch and brush off excess.
Deep-fry in oil twice.
First time at 320F. Until the meat starts to float.
Take them out of oil, let cool for about 2 minutes.
Quickly deep-fry again at 360F.

My deep-fryer only has one temperature and it tastes just fine.

Here is the link to the original recipe. I made a copy of the recipe to my blog in case the original link is no longer available in future.
