Chicken Karaage Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sake, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    After marinating, remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess liquid drip off. Dredge the chicken pieces in cornstarch, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 170°C (340°F).

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the chicken karaage hot, sprinkled with Szechuan salt and garnished with chopped Thai herbs. Serve with chili aioli on the side.
