Karaage is a popular Japanese dish featuring bite-sized pieces of chicken, usually thigh meat, marinated in a mix of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings, then coated in potato starch or flour and deep-fried to golden perfection. This cooking technique results in a crispy exterior and juicy, flavorful interior. Originating from Japanese home cooking and izakaya culture, it has become a global favorite. While karaage is an excellent source of protein, its deep-fried preparation can make it high in fat and calories, so portion control is key. For a lighter twist, some recipes bake or air-fry the chicken instead. Pairing it with fresh vegetables or a side of shredded cabbage, as is traditional in Japan, can balance the meal and provide added fiber and nutrients.
