Steps

1

Remove the skin from the chicken breast and slice it diagonally into bite-sized pieces.
2

Place the chicken pieces, salt, sake, and mayonnaise in a zip-top bag. Massage to coat, then refrigerate until ready to fry (the longer it marinates, the more tender it will be).
3

Mix the flour, water, and mayonnaise together to make the batter.
4

Put the panko breadcrumbs in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin to make them finer.
5

Dip the marinated chicken pieces into the batter, then coat with panko. Fry until golden brown (about 3 minutes).
6

Try serving with sweet chili sauce and lemon juice for dipping—these disappear fast! Highly recommended!
