Tatsutaage

Ingredients

• •2 lbs chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• •1/4 cup soy sauce
• •2 tablespoons mirin
• •1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• •3 cloves garlic, minced
• •1 teaspoon sesame oil
• •1 cup all-purpose flour
• •1/4 cup potato starch
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• •2 cups vegetable oil for frying
• •1 tablespoon green onions, sliced

Directions

1. 1Combine soy sauce, mirin, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a bowl.
2. 2Add chicken pieces to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3. 3Mix flour, potato starch, salt, and black pepper in another bowl.
4. 4Heat oil in a deep skillet or wok to 350°F (175°C).
5. 5Remove chicken from marinade and coat thoroughly with the flour mixture.
6. 6Fry chicken in batches for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
7. 7Drain fried chicken on paper towels.
8. 8Serve hot, garnished with green onions.

💡 Drain the marinated chicken well before coating; excess soy mixture makes tatsutaage starch gummy instead of crisp.
