Method

Preparation and Cooking

Marinate the Chicken

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and combine them in a bowl with soy sauce, sake, mirin, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 hour.

Prepare for Frying

In a large bowl, add potato starch. Remove marinated chicken from the marinade and coat each piece evenly in the potato starch, shaking off any excess.

Fry the Chicken

Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 170°C (340°F). Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve

Serve hot with lemon wedges and a side of dipping sauce if desired.
