Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 boneless chicken thighs, chopped into 1-inch chunks
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons ginger, finely grated or minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sake
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup potato starch
oil, for frying
lemon wedge
fresh parsley

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!

KARAAGE (JAPANESE FRIED CHICKEN)



Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) image

At Kunyan, a ramen shop in a mountain hot-spring town near the Sea of Japan, fried chicken is served until 2 a.m., or whenever the last customer leaves. The flesh is firm and flavorful with sweetened soy and garlic, coated in a fox-colored crust of potato starch that stays crisp on the table through a second round of highballs. Kunyan's "mama," who presides over pan-frying gyoza and pouring frothy Super Dry beer, would never give up her recipe, but the flavors in this version are awfully similar. To approximate the best Japanese chicken - meatier, fattier, and more flavorful than American supermarket meat - buy your chicken from a farmers' market, and debone it yourself or ask a butcher. Don't feel pressure to do it perfectly: The pieces will be encrusted in a crisp coating, and the leftover bones make great stock.

Time 45m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger, with its juice
2 teaspoons grated or smashed garlic (from about 3 cloves)
2 tablespoons dry sake
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
4 skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds), deboned, cut into 2-inch chunks
Peanut oil, or a mixture of peanut and canola or safflower, for frying
1 cup potato starch (katakuriko)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedge, for serving
Lettuce and cucumber slices, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the chicken, combine ginger, garlic, sake, soy sauce and sugar. Toss chicken pieces in marinade to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours.
  • Fill an aluminum or thin stainless steel pot (best for quick temperature adjustments), with sides at least 5 inches tall, with about 3 inches of peanut oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees. Place several layers of newsprint or paper towels on a sheet pan.
  • While the oil heats, place a wire rack over a second sheet pan. In a bowl, combine potato starch, salt and pepper. Remove one piece of chicken at a time from marinade, and tuck in any jagged bits or skin as you roll it in starch mixture to coat. Rest it on the rack. Repeat with all chicken pieces.
  • Gently shake off excess potato starch before cooking each piece of chicken. Fry 3 or 4 pieces at a time, keeping oil temperature around 325 degrees (temperature will fall when you add chicken) and no lower than 300 degrees. Fry for about 3 minutes, or until golden. Remove from oil using a wire-mesh spoon or long chopsticks, and cool on newsprint or paper towels.
  • When all the chicken has been fried once, increase the oil's temperature to 375 degrees. Fry chicken pieces a second time, keeping the oil between 350 and 375 degrees, until the crust is deep golden brown, about 1 minute. Drain on newsprint or paper towels. This second frying makes the coating stay extra crisp, even if you don't serve it immediately.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature, with a lemon wedge, and lettuce and cucumber slices for a cool, fresh contrast, if you like.
