CRISPY Chicken Karaage – Japanese Fried Chicken

CRISPY Chicken Karaage - Japanese Fried Chicken

Welcome to Day 4 of Cooking 15 Street Foods for 15 Days! Who doesn’t love fried chicken? Today we are making one of my must-order dishes at Japanese Restaurants – Chicken Karaage!

Deep-Fried till perfection, these extra crispy Chicken Karaage is crunchy on the outside and super juicy and flavourful on the inside. If you never tried Japanese Fried Chicken, this is your sign to make it at home this week! Make sure to make extra because I promise you will be reaching for seconds. 

Japanese Fried Chicken

Chicken Karaage is a type of Japanese Fried Chicken that is a super popular street food and appetizer that everyone loves.

I love all types of fried chicken, but I was shocked the first time I had Chicken Karaage! Since the skin is left on the chicken thighs, the chicken skin becomes  EXTRA crispy when fried while also protecting the meat keeping it juicy and tender. I love to pair my Chicken Karaage with a slice of lemon and some Japanese Mayo! 

Chicken Karaage - Japanese Fried Chicken

I highly recommend using boneless Chicken thigh WITH the skin on for Chicken Karaage.

However, if you are unable to find any butcher that sells it, you can also use boneless chicken thigh or chicken breast with the skin on as well. If you live in Canada, many large Asian Grocery Market (T&T) sell boneless chicken thigh with the skin on; if not, many youtube videos demonstrate how to do this at home as well! 

The marinade is super simple; all your need is soy sauce, mirin, sake (optional), black pepper, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.

Let the chicken rest for 30 – 60 minutes to help season the chicken and to tenderize it. To get extra crispy coating and authentic texture, I highly recommend using Japanese Potato Starch; I recommend using JFC Katakuriko. You can find this at Asian grocery stores, but I also linked it on my blog ($7) if you can’t find it. Alternatively, you can also use corn starch as well, the texture will be a little bit different, but it will still be super crispy!

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
