Fried Chicken is the fourth recipe in Sweetness and Lightning.
Ingredients[]
Serves 3-4
- 300 g chicken (thighs)
- a little potato starch
- cold water
- 1/2 tbsp white sesame seeds
- A: 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sake, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 tsp minced garlic
- B: 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp mirin
Steps[]
- Cut chicken into bite-sized chunks and soak in cold water for 10 minutes.
- Take the chicken out of the water and gently pat dry. Mix the ingredients listed in A and marinate chicken for 10 minutes.
- Lightly coat the chicken with starch and fry at 160℃ for a minute and a half. When the surface turns light brown, take the pieces out and let them rest for 3 minutes. Increase the oil temperature to 190℃ and fry again for 40 seconds.
- Put all the ingredients listed in B into a saucepan and mix. Place the pan on medium heat. Once it boils down, add the white sesame seeds.
- Pour 4 evenly over 3.
Side notes[]
- Stick cooking chopsticks in, and if small bubbles start forming near the tip, it's about 160℃.
- If it really starts bubbling, it's about 190℃.
- Pour the sauce on while the chicken is hot!
