🇯🇵 Japan recipe

Karaage

Irresistibly crispy Japanese fried chicken: bite-sized pieces of thigh meat marinated in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic, coated in potato starch, and double-fried to a shattering golden crunch. The thin, craggy coating shatters with each bite to reveal juicy, deeply seasoned meat.
