Chicken Marinade and Slaw

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, yuzu kosho, and mayonnaise. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

  3. 3

    Dredge the Chicken

    In one bowl, place the cornstarch. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the all-purpose flour. Take the marinated chicken, first coat it in cornstarch, then dip it in egg, and finally coat it in flour.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the twice-fried chicken with the yuzu kosho cabbage slaw on the side, and drizzle chili crisp over the chicken to taste.
