These are flavored with shio-koji and yuzu pepper like the ones I had at the pub the other day.
The taste made me wonder if there was any soy sauce in them. Adjust the cooking time and seasonings according to your tastes and these will certainly turn out delicious.
I make these and store them for later.
These are better than the ones you find in restaurants!

Reduce the yuzu pepper to 1 teaspoon if serving to children. It's just adults in our home so we usually dip our fried chicken yuzu pepper. Recipe by Ponie

Steps

1

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate (with ingredients listed with a ☆) for 1 to 2 hours. Turn while marinating.
2

Coat with katakuriko.
3

Heat oil for deep frying up to 170° (a little lower than normal deep frying temperature). I usually use a little less oil then required to cover the chicken completely.
4

While frying, try to turn over your chicken pieces. Be careful not to let them overcook.
5

They're ready when perfectly crisp and beautifully golden brown. Dip in yuzu pepper paste if you'd like.
