Street food Japanese Chicken Snack Frying Party food

Imagine standing on a busy Japanese market and smelling the aroma of freshly fried chicken with ginger and soy sauce. You can bring that feeling straight to your table. Karaage chicken is unbelievably tasty, surprisingly simple and guaranteed to be the conversation piece of the evening. The secret is a short marinade and the right frying temperature. That way you get a perfectly crispy exterior with juicy meat inside, every time.

Cut the chicken into rough pieces of about 3 to 4 cm. Pat them well dry with kitchen paper.
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, sake, grated ginger and garlic. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and lightly shake off any excess liquid. Mix the potato starch and flour on a separate plate and toss the chicken pieces through until well coated.
Heat a generous layer of oil in a deep pan to 170 degrees Celsius. Fry the chicken pieces in small batches for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper.
Increase the oil temperature to 190 degrees Celsius and fry the chicken for another 1 minute for extra crispiness. This is the real street-food trick.
Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Serve immediately with mayonnaise, a lemon wedge and, if you like, some finely sliced spring onion on top.

How do you make crispy karaage chicken on a stick?

Cut the chicken into rough pieces of about 3 to 4 cm. Pat them well dry with kitchen paper.
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, sake, grated ginger and garlic. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and lightly shake off any excess liquid. Mix the potato starch and flour on a separate plate and toss the chicken pieces through until well coated.
Heat a generous layer of oil in a deep pan to 170 degrees Celsius. Fry the chicken pieces in small batches for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper.
Increase the oil temperature to 190 degrees Celsius and fry the chicken for another 1 minute for extra crispiness. This is the real street-food trick.
Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Serve immediately with mayonnaise, a lemon wedge and, if you like, some finely sliced spring onion on top.

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

The double-frying technique may sound like an extra step, but it really makes a difference. The first round cooks the meat through. The second round creates that irresistible, glossy crispiness you expect from good street food. Don’t skip that step.

Serve the skewers on a large board or platter in the center of the table so everyone can help themselves. Add a small bowl of sriracha-mayo for those who like it spicier. Eating together, enjoying together: that’s how street food tastes best.
