Instructions
- Cut the chicken meat into mini bite sized pieces.
- Mix sake, soy sauce, ginger and garlic all together in a ziplock bag.
- Add the chicken to the bag and massage the bag. Marinate the chicken in the bag and leave it aside for about 20 minutes.
- Place the potato starch in a shallow container or in a bowl and roll the marinated chicken pieces in it to coat them. Shake off the excess starch.
- Fill a deep saucepan with the cooking oil (or an electric deep fryer, which is what I used) about ⅔ full and heat to about 180 c degree. Dip a chopstick into the oil and if tiny bubbles form at the bottom of the pan, then it is ready to deep fry the meat.
- Cook the chicken meat until the outside is golden brown and crispy.
- Take the chicken out and leave it on a plate with a paper towels placed under it and over it to absorb the excess oil.
- Serve with any condiments you like, such as lemon, mayo, or salt and pepper.
Notes
- nutrition value vary depends on how much oil used for deep frying.
- Can be made chicken breast only, or thigh only or different ratio.
