If you are a fried chicken fan, you have probably had Japanese chicken karaage – juicy chunks of shoyu-based marinated chicken coated in starch and spices and double fried until they are wonderfully crispy. It’s the type of appetizer that is impossible to just take one bite and not want to devour the entire plate.  It’s so easy to understand why karaage is one of the most popular Japanese dishes, especially when it’s this tasty.
