Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and marinate with soy sauce, mirin, ginger, and garlic for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Lightly pat off excess moisture from the marinated chicken.

  3. 3

    Coat each piece with potato starch and shake off excess.

  4. 4

    Fry at 170°C for 3 to 4 minutes for the first fry.

  5. 5

    Rest for 2 minutes, then refry at 180°C for 1 to 2 minutes until extra crispy.

Tips

Double-frying keeps the inside juicy while making the crust crispier.
Cornstarch can be used if potato starch is unavailable.
