By Brenda Sawyer Adamson The word "karaage" (唐揚げ) is a generic word for deep fried food coated with or without flour. It does not have to be chicken. So karaage chicken is called "tori no karaage" (鶏の唐揚げ, fried chicken) in Japanese, qualifying that it is chicken (tori, 鶏). Karaage originally meant deep fried meat or fish without any marinating.

Steps to make Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken):
  1. Cut chicken into cubes (cut a little bit bigger than what you like in the end)
  2. In a ziplock, combine all the marinade ingredients and chicken and mix it well by your hands from outside of the bag, like massaging the meat and the marinade. Rest it in the fridge overnight. (Or you can store it in the freezer until the day you cook)
  3. 1 hour before start cooking, add the egg into the ziplock bag and mix it well. Rest for 30 mins.
  4. If you prefer the outside to be fluff like a beer-battered fried fish, combine the flour and starch into the same bag with the chicken and mix well inside of the bag. If you like it to be crispy, you can combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and coat the chicken before frying; work one piece at a time
  5. Deep fry the chicken; never crowd the pot! If you have a staub pot, you can fry the chicken with the lid closed on mid-high heat until the sounds from the pot gets quieter(5mins or so). Open the lid and cook 2 more mins on high heat

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, sake, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic.
