15 Chicken drumsticks (mini-drumsticks)
1 1/2 tbsp Soy sauce (for the marinade)
2 tbsp Sake (for the marinade)
1 tsp Sesame oil (for the marinade)
1 tsp Chicken soup stock (granulated, for the marinade)
1 tsp Oyster sauce (optional, for the marinade)

2 tsp Ginger (grated, for the marinade)
1 Egg
1 Frying oil
2 tbsp Flour
2 tbsp Katakuriko

1
I scored some drumsticks on sale!
2
Insert cuts under the skin to help the flavor soak in and to allow the meat to cook evenly.
3
Mix together the marinade, place in a plastic bag with the chicken, and massage from the outside of the bag.
4
I let it marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
5
Before frying, add the flour and katakuriko directly to the plastic bag, then coat the chicken.
6
Use chopsticks to transfer to the oil and fry for about 2 minutes, enough for it to bubble.
7
I fried them twice!
8
Fry them once through, then increase the temperature of the hot oil and fry them again.
9
I always fry twice.
10
Give it a try!
