Ingredients

For the chicken

Instructions
 

  • For the sauce: To a large bowl, add shoyu, sugar, garlic, ginger, green onions, and furikake. Mix until well combined and the sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
  • For the chicken: Heat cooking oil of choice in a large saucepan over medium high heat. While the oil is heating up, start on the chicken.
  • To a large bowl, add flour, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined. 
  • Dip chicken into flour mixture until well coated. Shake off the excess and place in the oil heated to 350F. Fry for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until an internal temperature of 165F. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  • Dip the hot chicken into the shoyu sauce and let it soak for a few seconds. Remove from the sauce and set aside. 
  • Serve with sticky white rice and macaroni salad. Garnish chicken with green onions and furikake. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Choose the right oil. A light tasting oil with a high smoke point is best for frying chicken. Vegetable, canola, avocado, and peanut oils are all good choices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry.
  • Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the oil. The chicken should be fried at 350F.
  • Fry the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Allow the chicken to drain on a paper towel before serving. This will help remove any excess oil.
