Karaage is a popular Japanese dish of bite-sized, marinated, and deep-fried chicken. Its history dates back to the 1920s when it was introduced to Japan by Chinese immigrants. The dish quickly gained popularity and became a staple in Japanese cuisine. Karaage is known for its crispy and flavorful coating, achieved through a unique marination process using soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Chefs across Japan have put their own spin on the dish, with variations in seasoning and cooking techniques. Today, the best Karaage can be found in specialty restaurants in Japan, particularly in the Kansai region. The key to perfecting Karaage lies in achieving a crispy exterior while keeping the chicken juicy and tender on the inside. Some chefs also experiment with alternative methods such as using potato starch for a lighter, crunchier coating.
