Japanese Chicken Karaage (fried Chicken)

Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Preparation Time: 50 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 3
• 300 -400 g chicken leg meat
• 1 -400 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon japanese sake
• 3 -4 tablespoons flour
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• paprika
• other seasoning

Recipe

• 1 cut chicken meat into a bite sized pieces.
• 2 sprinkle a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of japanese sake on the meats, knead them, and leave it about 30 minutes.
• 3 sop up the sake with paper towels and put the meats, all spices, and flour into a plastic bag.
• 4 knead the plastic bag until all spices and flour cover all meats.
• 5 fill a pan with vegetable oil for deep frying and heat it up with middle flame. when the pan is heated up enough, put the meats into the pan.
• 6 if your pan is big enough(about 30 cm diameter), you can put them all at once (don't put only a few pieces; it will make only the surface of meat char).
• 7 notes: if you see bubbles as soon as you put a wooden chop stick into the oil, this is too hot. if you see them after 2 seconds, it's just the right temperature. after deep-frying the meat about 7~8 minutes, make the flame stronger.
• 8 when the chicken fried beautifully brown, take them out of the pan onto paper towels.
• 9 in addition if you sprinkle lemon juice on the chicken, it tastes better.
