Marinated Chicken

Yuzu Dill Mayo

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sake, mirin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    After marinating, remove the chicken from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Dredge the marinated chicken pieces in cornstarch until fully coated.

  2. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 180°C (350°F). Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Making the Yuzu Dill Mayo

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, yuzu juice, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish
