Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

350g/12.3oz chicken thigh fillets (, cut into large bite size pieces (Note 1))
20g/0.7oz corn flour (/ cornstarch)
Vegetable oil for deep frying
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cooking sake
1/2 tsp mirin ((Note 2))
2 tsp freshly grated ginger (including juice)
Shredded lettuce or cabbage
Sprigs of parsley

Steps:

  • Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towel. Put the chicken and the Marinade ingredients into a ziplock bag or a bowl.
  • Massage the bag well ensuring that all pieces are coated with the marinade. Marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Heat enough oil in a deep pot or pan to 160°C/320°F (note 3). The depth of the oil should be about 3-4cm/1¼-1½".
  • Meanwhile, drain excess marinade from the chicken, place the chicken pieces on paper towels to remove excess liquid, and put them in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle over the corn flour and turn chicken to coat every piece with corn flour.
  • Fry chicken in batches. Add several chicken pieces to the oil one by one and fry for about 2.5-3 minutes (note 4). You may want to move the chicken pieces around as they tend to stick to the bottom of the pot/pan.
  • Take the chicken pieces out of the oil and rest for at least 3-4 minutes (note 5) on paper towels. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
  • Skim any flour crumbs from the oil if there are any and increase the temperature of the oil to 190-200°C/374-392°F (note 3).
  • Put the chicken pieces back into the oil in batches and fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown and crunchy. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
  • Serve immediately with shredded lettuce and parsley for decoration if using.

Categories     Fried Chicken

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 clove garlic, finely grated
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons sake
1 tablespoon mirin
⅛ teaspoon sesame oil
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ¼ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup potato starch
1 quart canola oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sake, mirin, sesame oil, black pepper, cayenne, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Place chicken in the marinade and mix until thoroughly and evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 10 hours.
  • Set up your dredging station: Place a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet. Add potato starch to a wide, shallow bowl.
  • Remove chicken from the refrigerator. Stir to coat with marinade. Toss 2 or 3 pieces at a time in the potato starch until evenly coated. Shake off any excess starch and place chicken on the wire rack. Repeat to dredge remaining pieces.
  • Tap the rack on the baking sheet to remove any loose chunks of starch, then transfer the baking sheet and rack of chicken to the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Without crowding, lower chicken carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry, tossing occasionally, until cooked through and the outside is crunchy and browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken.
