Chicken Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken)

Food Wiki
Experience the delight of this uncomplicated yet delightful chicken karaage recipe, offering Japanese-style fried chicken infused with the flavors of ginger, garlic, sake, and soy sauce. It's perfect as an appetizer or as part of a satisfying meal when paired with rice and vegetables. It's worth noting that it's equally delicious served cold; my mom used to prepare it for our picnics.
