Japanese Chicken Karaage (Fried Chicken)

1. 1

   Cut chicken meat into a bite sized pieces.

2. 2

   Sprinkle a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of Japanese Sake on the meats, knead them, and leave it about 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Sop up the Sake with paper towels and put the meats, all spices, and flour into a plastic bag.

4. 4

   Knead the plastic bag until all spices and flour cover all meats.

5. 5

   Fill a pan with vegetable oil for deep frying and heat it up with middle flame. When the pan is heated up enough, put the meats into the pan.

6. 6

   If your pan is big enough(about 30 cm diameter), you can put them all at once (Don't put only a few pieces; it will make only the surface of meat char).

7. 7

   Notes: If you see bubbles as soon as you put a wooden chop stick into the oil, this is too hot. If you see them after 2 seconds, it's just the right temperature. After deep-frying the meat about 7~8 minutes, make the flame stronger.

8. 8

   When the chicken fried beautifully brown, take them out of the pan onto paper towels.

9. 9

   In addition If you sprinkle lemon juice on the chicken, it tastes better.
