Tori no Kara-age (Deep Fried Chicken)




Serves 2.

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless chicken thighs/ breasts
• 3 tablespoons corn flour
• 3 tablespoons plain flour
• 2 lemon slices

Marinade:

• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (use less if seasoning overnight)
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• garlic, equal amount as garlic, finely chopped (add more if you want)
• black pepper, grated
• salt (if seasoning for a short period)

Cut chicken into approximately 1.25 inch cubes. Season chicken pieces for at least an hour, best overnight. Mix corn flour and plain flour together. Mix well. Coat chicken pieces well in flour mixture. For deep frying, heat oil (to check that oil is ready, place a stick in the oil and if bubbles form around the stick, oil is ready.)
When the oil is heated to appropriate temperature, cook chicken for 5 mins or till golden brown. Remove and garnish with a lemon slice. Serve with rice.
