Ingredients for chicken karaage
Chicken - the main ingredient. Chicken legs are best for juiciness and taste. The skin adds a little more crunchy taste and fat and the chicken legs are soft and juicy.
Light soy sauce - For umami we need a little light soy sauce and salt. We just wanted a hint of soy, not much. For the most authentic taste, use a light Japanese soy sauce. Yamasa loves us. Sake - this helps to soften the chicken and balance the taste of soy sauce
Sugar - Add a little sugar to highlight the soy sauce
Ginger - adds a warm, earthy tone
garlic - because we love garlic!
Starch - I like to use potato starch for a light and fresh packaging. The type of starch you use for the coating is very important. In addition to the coating below.
Chicken Karage is made by mixing rice flour, salt, sugar, eggs, milk, and water into a dough. Then you roll out the dough into thin sheets, cut them into pieces, and fry them until golden brown. You then put the fried chicken pieces onto a plate and top them with mayonnaise or soy sauce.
