Cut the chicken thigh meat into 4 cm pieces.
Mix the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil, then marinate the chicken for 30 minutes.
Drain the chicken and coat the pieces one by one in potato starch.
Heat the vegetable oil to 165°C and fry the chicken for the first time for 5 minutes.
Rest the chicken on a wire rack for 5 minutes so the internal heat evens out.
Raise the oil to 185°C and fry the karaage pieces again for 2 minutes.
Serve the karaage hot with lemon wedges.
💡 Tip: Use thigh meat instead of chicken breast; in Turkey, asking the butcher for boneless skinless thigh pieces is the most practical way to make karaage.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve karaage with lemon wedges, plus optional plain rice and cucumber pickles.
