Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sake
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 cup Potato starch (or cornstarch)
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 whole Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, roughly 4-5 cm in size.
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sake, grated ginger, and sugar. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 170°C (340°F). While the oil is heating, prepare the coating.
Place the potato starch in a shallow dish. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid before dredging each piece in the potato starch. Ensure the chicken is well coated.
Carefully lower a few pieces of chicken into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
Serve the Tatsuta Age fried chicken hot with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
