Deep-Fried Chicken Wings (Tebasaki Karaage)
Deep-fried chicken wings with an extra step: the wing tips are trimmed off and the thin bone is removed before frying. Removing the bone makes them easier to eat, and that part turns out especially juicy. The marinade is a basic combination of soy sauce, sake, garlic, and ginger. The key is coating the wings with potato starch twice for a random, craggy crust.

Instructions
Place a chicken wing vertically and cut off the tip. Feel for the gap between the bones and it will cut easily.
1:29~5 minMake a cut on the opposite side as well, between the bones. Repeat the same process for all 10 wings.
1:45~10 minOf the thick and thin bones, grip the thin one firmly and scrape the meat down with your fingers to expose the bone.
Once the meat is scraped away, snap the thin bone outward and pull it out. Remove the bone from all the wings in the same way.
3:11~15 minIn a bowl, combine soy sauce, sake, grated garlic, and ginger to make the marinade.
Add the deboned wings to the marinade and massage it in well.
5:14~2 minPress plastic wrap directly onto the surface, making sure there is no gap between the wrap and the meat, and marinate for 1 hour.
5:32~60 minAfter 1 hour, once the meat has changed color, add 4 tablespoons of potato starch and massage it in until sticky.
While still sticky, dust with more potato starch. Ideally the coating clings in a random, uneven way.
Fry in oil heated to 170°C or higher. Fry until the coating is well browned.
6:42~8 minDrain the oil, arrange on a plate, and serve.
