Let's celebrate Christmas Japanese style!
The popular fast-food restaurant, KFC is a national favourite in Japan
at Christmas. It is estimated that 3.6 million Japanese families
celebrate with KFC on Christmas.
However,
Karaage is a Japanese method of frying foods similar to KFC. It is a cooking technique in which various foods, most
often chicken, but also other meat and fish, are deep fried in oil.
Sometimes, the chicken
is fried multiple times to make the skin even crispier. In this recipe, we will use chicken
thighs and wings, but you could use
any chicken cut as long as you have smallish-sized pieces and keep the
skin on for extra crunch!
Ingredients:
**Chicken**
- 4 Boneless chicken thighs with skin, cut into bite-size pieces
- 12 Chicken wings with skin
**Marinade**
- 120ml Soy sauce (get yours here)
- 60ml Sake
- 1 Knob ginger sliced
- 3 cloves garlic sliced
- 3 Spring onions
** Frying **
- 85g Pearl Multi-Fried Powder (get yours here)
- 1 egg
- 80ml Water
- 3 tbsp Flour
- Oil for deep frying
- Lemon wedges to serve
How to make it?
- Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a bowl, and add chicken and marinade for at least 2 hours in the fridge. Overnight would be best!
- Pre-heat oil for deep frying to 180°C in a wok.
- Transfer chicken pieces into a sieve to drain off the marinade.
- Add in a bowl: Multi-Fried Powder, one egg, 3/4 tbs oil and ice water to combine the fried powder batter, and mix well.
- Dust chicken with flour and shake off excess.
- Cover meat with the multi-fried batter.
- Deep fry until golden around 20 mins.
- Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
