Chicken Karaage Recipe
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sake
1 teaspoon garlic, finely diced
1 teaspoon ginger grated
1 egg
1 1/2 pound chicken thighs, cubed
salt and pepper

Directions:
For the marinade: To a large bowl add shoyu, granulated sugar, sake, garlic, ginger, and egg. Mix until well combined.
Place chicken in sauce and allow to marinate for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Set a pot over medium heat with the cooking oil of your choice and heat to 350F. Place a cooling rack or paper towels over a cookie sheet and set aside.
To another bowl add potato starch, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
For the batter: Remove chicken from the refrigerator. One by one add the chicken to the potato starch and toss to coat. Shake off excess potato starch and place on the cooling rack.
First fry: Once oil has reached 350F, add chicken and fry for about 2-3 minutes and flip midway. Once chicken has just become a light golden brown remove from oil and place on the cooling rack.
Second fry: Allow oil to heat up to 350F, then place the chicken back in the oil and fry for another 1-2 minutes. Remove and place on cooling rack to drain excess oil. ENJOY.
