Toss the chicken with soy sauce, grated ginger, crushed garlic, and salt, then rest it in the refrigerator.
Coat the chicken in starch for the karaage.
Heat the oil in a deep pot to 170°C and shake excess coating from the starched chicken.
Fry the pieces in 170°C oil for 12 to 15 minutes.
Rest the chicken on a wire rack; once surface steam escapes, the outside stays crisper.
Raise the oil to 180°C and briefly fry the chicken a second time.
Drain the excess oil and serve hot with lemon wedges.
💡 Tip: Resting the coated chicken briefly before frying helps the starch cling and build a crisper crust.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve karaage hot with lemon wedges and keep the pieces on a rack until plating.
