Chicken Karaage (Japanese Style Fried Chicken)

September 25, 2014 by Liza Agbanlog Leave a Comment

Chicken Karaage My oldest son inspired me to make this chicken dish. It is one of his favorite among the Japanese dishes. One night, I was watching the food TV show “Eat Street” where they featured this Vancouver food truck called “Mogu”.  My son pointed out how popular the food truck is among his friends and that their chicken kara-age is to die for. I have tasted chicken karaage before but was not motivated enough to make it. But after watching the show and learning how simple the ingredients were, I decided to make it at home. Chicken thighs with skin on are usually used for juicier fried chicken. Furthermore, marinating the chicken for several hours or longer will yield a more flavorful and tasty pieces. I am glad I made this awesome dish. My family ate it as is but I had mine with chili sauce. Delicious! Chicken Karaage
