Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Combine Marinade Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sake, grated ginger, grated garlic, sugar, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Preparing the Breading

    Mix Breading Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and baking powder together.

Frying the Chicken

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan or wok, heat vegetable oil to 175°C (350°F).

  2. 5

    Coat Chicken

    Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

  3. 6

    Fry Chicken

    Fry chicken in batches for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Making House Mayo

  1. 7

    Mix Mayo Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, yuzu juice (or lemon juice), soy sauce, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
