Chicken Karaage

Description

Chicken Karaage is a popular Japanese dish that consists of crispy, deep-fried chicken pieces, usually marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a bit of sake or mirin. The chicken, often boneless thigh meat, is coated in a light batter or cornstarch before being fried to golden perfection. The result is a crispy, crunchy exterior with juicy, tender chicken on the inside.

Typically served as a snack, appetizer, or even a main dish, Karaage is often accompanied by a wedge of lemon and sometimes a side of shredded cabbage or rice. It’s perfect for dipping in soy sauce or a spicy mayo, making it an irresistible comfort food in Japanese cuisine. Whether you’re enjoying it as street food or a casual home meal, chicken karaage brings that perfect combination of crispy and juicy that’s hard to resist!
