KARAAGE (JAPANESE FRIED CHICKEN)
At Kunyan, a ramen shop in a mountain hot-spring town near the Sea of Japan, fried chicken is served until 2 a.m., or whenever the last customer leaves. The flesh is firm and flavorful with sweetened soy and garlic, coated in a fox-colored crust of potato starch that stays crisp on the table through a second round of highballs. Kunyan's "mama," who presides over pan-frying gyoza and pouring frothy Super Dry beer, would never give up her recipe, but the flavors in this version are awfully similar. To approximate the best Japanese chicken - meatier, fattier, and more flavorful than American supermarket meat - buy your chicken from a farmers' market, and debone it yourself or ask a butcher. Don't feel pressure to do it perfectly: The pieces will be encrusted in a crisp coating, and the leftover bones make great stock.

Steps:
- In a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the chicken, combine ginger, garlic, sake, soy sauce and sugar. Toss chicken pieces in marinade to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours.
- Fill an aluminum or thin stainless steel pot (best for quick temperature adjustments), with sides at least 5 inches tall, with about 3 inches of peanut oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees. Place several layers of newsprint or paper towels on a sheet pan.
- While the oil heats, place a wire rack over a second sheet pan. In a bowl, combine potato starch, salt and pepper. Remove one piece of chicken at a time from marinade, and tuck in any jagged bits or skin as you roll it in starch mixture to coat. Rest it on the rack. Repeat with all chicken pieces.
- Gently shake off excess potato starch before cooking each piece of chicken. Fry 3 or 4 pieces at a time, keeping oil temperature around 325 degrees (temperature will fall when you add chicken) and no lower than 300 degrees. Fry for about 3 minutes, or until golden. Remove from oil using a wire-mesh spoon or long chopsticks, and cool on newsprint or paper towels.
- When all the chicken has been fried once, increase the oil's temperature to 375 degrees. Fry chicken pieces a second time, keeping the oil between 350 and 375 degrees, until the crust is deep golden brown, about 1 minute. Drain on newsprint or paper towels. This second frying makes the coating stay extra crisp, even if you don't serve it immediately.
- Serve hot or at room temperature, with a lemon wedge, and lettuce and cucumber slices for a cool, fresh contrast, if you like.

JAPANESE-STYLE DEEP FRIED CHICKEN
If you like the taste of Japanese dishes, you will love it. Very crispy, and my friends like it too. You can buy joshinko (rice flour), katakuriko (potato starch), and sesame oil at asian market. If you live in large city, you may find them at American grocery store. Joshinko and katakuriko taste nothing different from regular flour, but they really help to make crispy fried chicken. Do not use sweet soy sauce or too salty soy sauce.

JAPANESE CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN - KARA-AGE
This is a classic Japanese Kara-age recipe. Chicken is juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Use dark meat such as thigh meat (and if possible skin attached) to get the juiciest fried chicken! You may use corn starch instead of potato starch if it's difficult to find in your area.

JAPANESE FRIED CHICKEN (CHICKEN KARAAGE)
Steps:
- Rinse the chicken, cut off any excess fat and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Using a sharp knife, score the chicken, especially in fibrous parts of the meat. Use the point of the knife to poke small holes in the chicken, then cut the chicken in bite-size (1 1/2-inch) pieces.
- In a mixing bowl combine the chicken, sake, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well, rubbing the marinade into the chicken. Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Add the egg slowly to the chicken while mixing with your hands. Add the cornstarch and lightly toss to coat the chicken. In a medium saucepan heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer reads 335 degrees F. Fry the chicken, a few pieces at a time, until golden brown, about 10 minutes (the internal temperature of the meat should be 165 degrees F). Shake off any excess grease. Cool and reserve the oil for another use. Plate the chicken and garnish with lemon wedges to serve.

This has a delicious thin crispy batter! Rice flour and potato starch can be easily found in the Asian section of you grocery store, potato starch is also known as kakakuriko, do not substitute these for all-purpose white flour, they are what makes the batter extra crispy!

JAPANESE FRIED CHICKEN THIGHS (KARAAGE)
If you love crispy fried chicken, you will love this easy and tasty recipe! This is one of those recipes that once I came across it, I come back to it often. You can debone skinless chicken thighs if you want, but I use the already boneless skinless thighs as a time saver. The pieces don't come out quite as uniform looking, but we don't mind that, and they are crunchy and delicious! Because the pieces are so small, you don't need a ton of oil to fry them in, either. (Also, I cool my oil and strain it, and refrigerate it to use for more frying times.) These are traditionally served with lemon wedges to squeeze on.

Steps:
- Cut chicken thighs crosswise into 1- 1 1/2 inch wide strips.
- Combine soy sauce, sake, ginger, garlic, sugar, and salt in zip-top bag. Add chicken and toss to combine. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- While chicken marinates, line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set wire rack in second baking sheet and line with tripe layer of paper towels. Place cornstarch in bowl.
- Lift chicken from marinade, 1 piece at a time, allowing excess marinade to drip back, but leaving any garlic or ginger bits on the chicken. Coat chicken with cornstarch, shake off excess, and place on parchment-lined sheet. Reserve marinade.
- Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 325 degrees. While oil heats, check chicken for dry white patches of cornstarch. Dip back of a spoon into reserved marinade and gently press into dry spots to lightly moisten.
- Using tongs, add half the chicken, one piece at a time, to oil in a single layer. Cook, adjusting heat if necessary, to maintain oil temperature between 300 and 325 degrees, until chicken is golden brown, 3 - 5 minutes. (There is no need to take the temperature of the chicken; it will be cooked through by the time it is golden brown and crispy.).
- Using skimmer or slotted spoon, transfer chicken pieces to paper towel-lined rack. Return oil to 325 and repeat with remaining chicken.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
