Japanese-Style Deep Fried Chicken
Food Wiki
If you have an affinity for Japanese cuisine, you're bound to adore this dish. It boasts a delightful crispiness that even my friends appreciate. You can easily acquire joshinko (rice flour), katakuriko (potato starch), and sesame oil at an Asian market, and if you reside in a larger city, you might even find them at your local American grocery store. Both joshinko and katakuriko impart no distinct flavor compared to regular flour, but they play a pivotal role in achieving that perfect crispiness for your fried chicken. Be cautious not to use overly sweet or excessively salty soy sauce in this recipe.
