Karaage: Japanese Fried Chicken

Step 5: Second fry & serve

Dipping sauce & toppings

  • Lemons, sliced
    for serving
  • Kewpie mayo
    for serving

From previous steps

  • Finished karaage
  • Finished sauce

Skim the oil for loose starch before adding the chicken in batches for a second .

This time, cook the chicken pieces until they are a deeper golden brown and crispy all over, another 2-3 minutes.

If you want the pieces super crispy, optionally pass through the oil for another 45 seconds for a third fry.

To serve, add the fried chicken to a platter with the dipping sauce, Japanese kewpie mayo, and a couple of lemon slices. Enjoy.
