Chicken Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken)

One of my favourite Japanese classic dish is chicken karaage (唐揚げ), or Japanese-style deep fried chicken. It is both easy and cheap to make this at home. It makes a great finger food as well as a side dish to accompany almost any meal, whether Japanese or otherwise (such as plain aglio olio).

I love to accompany it with the no-fuss zaru soba and miso soup for a truly quick and satisfying Japanese home-cooked meal. The ingredients are cheap and you can make more for less buck at home. Serve it with a wedge of lemon and squeeze the juice over the chicken just before serving.
Wiffy, I love fried chicken and this is one of must order when I go for Japanese food.
My family loves chicken karaage too and thanks for sharing this delicious recipe.
Yummy…but please tell me there is an easier alternative to deep-frying :P
can try oven or air-fryer, but I think deep frying will be nicer ;)
Oh yummy! It looks so crispy and I so love it.
Wah, need to deep-fry ah??? It’s “forget it” for me lah! :( 只有流口水的份
yeah man. fellow anti deep fryer…(fear of deep frying, rather than anti eating)
noted above comment that can use oven…will definitely try. loves karaage.
Oh my! This is my favourite!
It is indeed simple and satisfying! I don’t usually deep fry food at home so I’d just leave it for when I eat out :D
looks delicious!
Hi Wiffy,
Can i omit sake/white wine? Because I want to cook it for my kids
Thanks :)
Yes, you definitely can.
Do i fry together with the mince garlic bits or remove the garlic bits?
They are minced and mixed with the chicken marinade. No need to remove :)
