Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) with Honey Mayoster Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sake (or white wine)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup potato starch or cornstarch
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sake, ginger, and garlic. Toss the chicken pieces in the marinade and let it soak for about 30 minutes to really get that flavor in there.
  2. While that chicken is marinatin’, mix up the honey mayo by combinin’ the mayonnaise, honey, and lemon juice in another bowl. Give it a good stir and set it aside.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. You want enough oil to submerge those chicken pieces when you fry ‘em.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Then, coat each piece with potato starch or cornstarch, shakin’ off the extra.
  5. Fry the chicken in batches for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and crispy. Drain those beautiful hunks of chicken on a paper towel-lined plate.
  6. Make sure to sprinkle a little salt on ‘em while they’re hot!
  7. Serve the fried chicken hot, drizzled with that honey mayo sauce. You can also serve it with a side of rice and veggies if you want to keep it classy.

And there ya go! Enjoy your delicious Karaage that’s sure to become a family favorite. Get your forks ready, ‘cause this dish is about to make your taste buds do a happy dance!
