Deep-fried chicken | Japan


日式炸鸡 鶏の唐揚げ

\ Ingredients


Chicken legs 2 (600g)

Salt 1/2 teaspoon

Yuzu pepper 1-2 tsp

Potato starch 8-10 tbsp

Deep-frying oil

Lemon/lime wedges




\ Recipe


1) Remove excess fat from chicken and divide each leg into 10 equal parts. Rub in yuzu pepper and salt and leave for about 1 hour.

Put chicken in a pan, cover with 4 tablespoons of the potato starch, and leave for about 5 minutes. Then cover with the remaining starch to absorb any moisture. 2) Squeeze the half of the chicken and cover well with potato starch. Heat the deep-frying oil to around 180°C. Add chicken pieces in batches and deep-fry for about 1 and a half minutes, then take out and leave to cool for about 2 minutes. Meanwhile fry the rest of chiecken in a same way.

3) Once you have fried all of the chicken pieces once, add the first batch back to the pan and deep-fry again for about 2 minutes until it becomes crisp. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Serve fried chicken on a plate and add citrus.
