Everyone has The best fried chicken recipe and we are still looking for more the-best-fried chicken beyond regions to countries.

I have some Japanese fried chicken (called Karaage) recipes, and they are crispy savory fried chicken that my family loves.

Today, I’ll tell you my new fried chicken recipe, it’s almost a hybrid of all my KARAAGE recipes and techniques.

The crisp, juicy pieces of “huge paper-thin fried chicken” is topped with shards of fried flour lumps, adding more crunch.

It is going to be one of your absolute favorite recipes, taste Asian savory juicy chicken despite it being made of chicken breast!

THE SECRET KEY FOR CRUNCHY FLOUR

SECRET 1

Pick up rice flour whenever you want to “CRISPY” fried coating.

Rice flour is finely ground raw rice and is traditionally used for a wide variety of cooking in Asian cuisine. Recently, rice flour has been attractive as a substitute for wheat flour because of its “gluten-free” benefit. As for the facts of rice flour, this traditional flour is rich in vitamins, protein, dietary fibers, and a good source of amino acids. Moreover, you can get several benefits when incorporating rice flour into your cooking life.

For more details about rice flour, read this post.

SECRET 2

After choosing rice flour, add tablespoons of water to make the flour lumpy!

These lumps are actually the source of the “CRUNCH” texture you ever had.

I blend the rice flour and potato starch equally to make the fried chicken light crispy crunchy outside and juicy flavorful inside.

Yet, you can use rice flour only or mix it with corn starch.

I don’t recommend mixing with wheat flour when you looking for super-crispy, but it is up to you.

Yet, I recommend using cake flour (less gluten protein) rather than using all-purpose flour.

Using wheat flour is not a bad option in case making Japanese fried chicken depending on the purpose.

For more details about the types of flour for fried chicken, I explain the difference in this post.

Super Crispy Japanese Karaage Chicken Recipe 2

THE BAKING POWDER SOLUTION

Smashing over the thick plump American chicken breast with a rolling pin in this recipe, tenderizing is not necessary.

However, it is better to soak the meat in the baking powder solution overnight to make it tender, moist, and hardly dry and chewy even if overcooked.

The best way to make chicken breast tender and moist is “the baking powder solution” method in this post.

If you have time to brine the meat overnight (more than 6 hours), I recommend using this method.

It can make chicken breast super tender and moist without getting salty.

ASIAN MARINADE SAUCE

  • ¼ cup dark soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Sake or white wine
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • ¼ TSP Chinese five spices
  • ¼ TSP Shichimi togarashi powder or cayenne pepper
  • 1 TSP ground fresh garlic
  • 1 TSP ground fresh ginger
  • black pepper to taste

WHAT’S SHICHIMI TOGARASHI

“Shichimi” refers to seven flavors, so SHICHIMI TOGARASHI is the spice mix with seven spices including dried chili pepper flakes.
Shichimi Togarashi is a traditional Japanese condiment made of blended spices such as roasted red chili pepper flakes, toasted sesame seeds, and other spices that can provide a rich aroma and flavor to any Japanese cuisine.
