Ingredients
For Chicken
- 380 grams boneless skin-on chicken thighs (2 large thighs)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- ⅓ cup Potato Starch
- vegetable oil (for frying)
For Yuzu Mayo
- ¼ cup Kewpie mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon yuzu kosho
- ½ teaspoon yuzu juice (optional)
For Chicken Sandwich
- 2 butter rolls (sliced in half horizontally)
- 1 large tomato (cut into ¼-inch thick slices)
- shredded cabbage
Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, sake, and ginger in a bowl and add the chicken thighs. Let this marinate for around 3 hours.
- To make the yuzu mayonnaise, whisk the mayo, yuzu kosho, and yuzu juice together in a bowl.
- When the chicken is done marinating, add 2-inches of oil to a heavy-bottomed pot and heat to 320 degrees F (160 C).
- Drain the marinade from the chicken, and add the potato starch to a bowl.
- Dust the chicken in a thick coating of potato starch.
- Fry the chicken until it's golden brown and it has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (71 C). This will take about 8-10 minutes, depending on how thick your chicken is. If your chicken starts browning too quickly, turn down the heat.
- When the chicken is done, transfer it to a paper towel-lined rack and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- To assemble the sandwich, divide the yuzu mayo between the four halves of bun and spread it around.
- Top the bottom bun with the fried chicken.
- Top the chicken with a slice of tomato and a pile of shredded cabbage and finish with the top bun.
- Give the sandwich a little press to make sure everything holds together.
