Chicken karaage is a Japanese style fried chicken. Karaage is a type of cooking technique that focuses on deep frying various meats, including chicken, fish, and sea food. It is very similar to tempura cooking styles in terms of technique and preparation. Typically, Karaage requires lightly coating small pieces of fish and various meats with potato starch mix or seasoned wheat flour. Then the meat is fried in a light oil. Karaage also has a wide range of marinades that add to its distinctive taste.
