Karaage: Japanese Fried Chicken

Step 2: Dredge the chicken pieces

Breading

  • Potato starch
    150 g5 parts
  • Flour
    30 g1 part
  • Neutral oil
    for frying

From previous steps

  • Marinated chicken

Add the potato or cornstarch and flour to a large tray or bowl. Remove the chicken pieces one by one from the marinade and toss them with the starch to evenly coat each piece, no need to shake off the extra cornstarch. You can just keep all of the coated chicken in the bowl until you’re ready to fry.

Set up the fry station with the coated chicken on one side of the stove, and a wire rack over a baking sheet on the other.
