Steps

1 hour

1

Combine the marinade and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2

In the meantime, heat some neutral oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to about 160°C, over medium heat. The oil should not be smoking.
3

Prepare the flour and potato starch in two separate piles and take the chicken out the fridge. Dredge the chicken in flour first, then the potato starch, then shake off the excess and deep fry until light golden-brown, approx. 3-6 minutes.
4

Transfer the chicken onto a paper towel or a wire rack to drain off the excess oil.
Tip: to get it extra crispy, you can choose to double-fry the chicken. Simply fry the first chicken for slightly less time, then bring up the oil’s temperature to 180°C and fry again for about 45 seconds, or until golden-brown.
5

Traditionally served with rice, kewpie Japanese mayonnaise, a wedge of lemon and shichimi (Japanese seven spice mix).
You can also add gochujang, seaweed and kimchi. Enjoy!
