STEP 1/10
First, prepare the chicken legs.
STEP 2/10
It removes fat and tendons hidden in every corner of the chicken leg.
STEP 3/10
Cut the prepared chicken leg into bite-size pieces.
Wash thoroughly under running water and drain through a sieve.
STEP 4/10
Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, a pinch of salt, 1/3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of mirin, a little pepper powder, and a little ginger powder to the chicken leg meat.
STEP 5/10
Mix it well, seal it with a sanitary bag, and marinate it in the refrigerator for about an hour.
STEP 6/10
1 hour later -
Remove chicken leg meat from refrigerator, break 1 egg and mix well.
STEP 7/10
Take out the chicken legs with chopsticks and put them in the sanitary bag one by one.
* I don't use the seasoning left in the bowl :)
STEP 8/10
Put an appropriate amount of starch powder, close the mouth of the sanitary bag, and shake it
Then you get starch on each chicken leg
STEP 9/10
I'll fry the chicken leg with starch.
The temperature of the oil is 175 to 180 degrees!
If you don't have a thermometer like me, I think you can heat the oil between medium and medium heat.
Carefully put the chicken leg meat covered with starch in the preheated oil.
If it is cooked well, sift it out, cool it down, and fry it again over high heat to make it crispy.
(Don't fry it for too long.) ^^)
STEP 10/10
Then, the crispy Japanese fried chicken leg meat, chicken karaage, is completed. :)
