Fried chicken thigh marinated with a hint of sweetness in the style of Hokkaido zangi, perfect for making on a day when you're feeling down. Plenty of homemade grated garlic goes into the marinade, the seasoned meat is warmed briefly in the microwave, then coated in potato starch and rice flour and fried at high heat. The rice flour coating turns out thin, crisp, and light, so you can keep eating it forever.
