Cuisine: 和食
Ingredients: Chicken thigh 1 piece; Ginger (grated) to taste; Soy sauce to taste; Potato starch to taste; Potatoes (May Queen) 2 pieces; Oil to taste; Mirin to taste; Vinegar to taste; Soy sauce to taste; Sugar to taste; Ginger (grated) to taste; Scallions to taste; Ground sesame seeds to taste

Karaage made without deep-frying, using an air fry oven toaster and a minimal amount of oil. The marinade is just ginger and soy sauce to keep moisture low, and coating the pieces in potato starch while wrapping them in the skin gives a light, crispy texture. Serve with a savory scallion sauce based on mirin, vinegar, and soy sauce. Potatoes can be cooked at the same time.

INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions

1
Marinate the chicken thigh. Rub in a simple marinade of just grated ginger, to remove any odor, and soy sauce. Do not use sake, since you want as little moisture as possible. After rubbing it in, let it sit for a while to absorb.
1:02~10 min
2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into about 8 pieces. May Queen potatoes are used here (Danshaku or other varieties also work).
1:30~3 min
3
Coat the chicken in potato starch. Once evenly coated, pat off any excess.
1:56~3 min
4
Shape each piece into a round by wrapping it in the skin, so the skin crisps up nicely. Let it rest in this state for a while to let the starch settle.
2:26~5 min
5
If there is moisture on the surface of the cut potatoes, wipe it off with a paper towel, then add oil and toss quickly.
3:29~2 min
6
Brush a thin layer of oil onto the surface of the chicken with the back of a spoon. Brush the other side quickly as well. The minimum amount of oil is enough.
3:50~3 min
7
Arrange the oiled chicken and potatoes on the mesh basket and set it in the air fry oven toaster.
4:23~2 min
8
Set to air fry mode and cook at 180°C for 10 minutes.
4:58~10 min
9
While it cooks, make the savory scallion sauce. Combine and mix the mirin, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and grated ginger.
5:20~3 min
10
Heat the sauce briefly in the microwave, then add plenty of thinly sliced scallions and the ground sesame seeds and mix.
5:53~2 min
11
Once golden and crisp, plate the potatoes first. Flip the karaage over and cook the other side a little longer to crisp it up.
6:35~5 min
12
Plate the finished karaage and serve with the savory scallion sauce. Pour it over just before eating.
7:31~2 min
