About Karage chicken

Karaage chicken is a popular Japanese dish consisting of bite-sized pieces of chicken, typically thigh meat, marinated in a blend of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings. The chicken is coated in potato starch or flour, then deep-fried to achieve a crispy, golden texture. A staple in Japanese cuisine, karaage is often enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal, served with rice, lemon wedges, or dipping sauces. While rich in protein, karaage chicken is deep-fried, which increases its fat and calorie content, making moderation important for those watching their intake. Opting for air-fried or oven-baked variations can offer a lighter alternative. Nonetheless, its bold flavors and satisfying crunch make karaage chicken a beloved dish worldwide.
