Crispy Chicken Karaage

Chicken karaage is Japanese fried chicken, doubly crunchy on the outside and super moist and juicy on the inside. The first time I tried chicken karaage was at Salt Steakhouse at the Jersey Shore, and I was hooked instantly. Just be sure to make extra, because everyone will be reaching for seconds!

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger, and garlic. Add chicken, toss to coat, and let marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.

  2. Add the cornstarch to a 9×13-inch pan and coat each piece of chicken well. Shake off excess cornstarch.

  3. In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil until piping hot. Deep-fry the chicken in batches for two minutes.

  4. Transfer to a tray and let sit for five minutes, then refry for another two to three minutes or until extra-crispy.

  5. Sprinkle with scallions and serve with spicy mayo.
