Recipe Instructions:
-
Cut chicken meat into bite-sized pieces.
-
Sprinkle a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of Japanese Sake over the meats, knead them, and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
-
Sop up the Sake with paper towels and place the meats, along with all spices and flour, into a plastic bag.
-
Knead the plastic bag until all spices and flour evenly coat the meats.
-
Fill a pan with vegetable oil for deep frying and heat it up over medium flame. When the pan reaches the right temperature, add the meats.
-
If your pan is large enough (about 30 cm in diameter), you can add all the pieces at once (avoid adding only a few pieces to prevent uneven charring).
- Note: If you observe bubbles as soon as you insert a wooden chopstick into the oil, it’s too hot. If bubbles appear after 2 seconds, the temperature is just right. After deep-frying the meat for about 7-8 minutes, increase the flame for a perfect finish.
-
When the chicken achieves a beautiful golden brown color, carefully remove them from the pan and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
-
For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle lemon juice over the fried chicken.
