About Karagae chicken

Karaage chicken is a popular Japanese dish featuring bite-sized pieces of chicken, typically thigh meat, marinated in a mix of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sometimes sake or mirin. It is coated in potato starch or flour and then deep-fried to achieve a crispy exterior while maintaining juicy, tender meat inside. Originating from Japanese home cooking, karaage is a staple in bento boxes, izakayas, and street food stalls. While it is rich in protein, its deep-fried preparation makes it high in calories and fat. Using leaner cuts of chicken, air frying, or baking can create a lighter version. Pairing karaage with fresh vegetables or a side salad balances its richness, offering a more nutritious meal option while retaining its delicious savory flavors.
