Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 clove garlic, finely grated
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons sake
1 tablespoon mirin
⅛ teaspoon sesame oil
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ¼ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup potato starch
1 quart canola oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sake, mirin, sesame oil, black pepper, cayenne, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Place chicken in the marinade and mix until thoroughly and evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 10 hours.
  • Set up your dredging station: Place a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet. Add potato starch to a wide, shallow bowl.
  • Remove chicken from the refrigerator. Stir to coat with marinade. Toss 2 or 3 pieces at a time in the potato starch until evenly coated. Shake off any excess starch and place chicken on the wire rack. Repeat to dredge remaining pieces.

  • Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Without crowding, lower chicken carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry, tossing occasionally, until cooked through and the outside is crunchy and browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken.

TEBASAKI (JAPANESE-STYLE DEEP FRIED CHICKEN WINGS)



Tebasaki (Japanese-Style Deep Fried Chicken Wings) image

An authentic Tebasaki recipe shared by the Nagoya International Center. Tebasaki are seasoned deep-fried chicken wings and are a specialty food of the Nagoya region of Japan. Honey can also be used instead of sugar. This doesn't make too much sauce, so make extra if you'd like. Also, mirin is a rice wine similar to sake. It has a lower alcohol content and consists of 40-50% sugar. There are a few kinds but any will do, and I'm sure most places will only sell one kind if any at all.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, free-range chicken wings for the best flavor and texture.
  • To remove the chicken wings' tips, use a sharp knife to cut through the joint where the wing meets the drumette.
  • To make sure the chicken wings are evenly coated in the marinade, use a large bowl or resealable bag and shake the wings around until they are well coated.
  • Let the chicken wings marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • When frying the chicken wings, use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with enough oil to cover the wings halfway.
  • Fry the chicken wings in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure they cook evenly.
  • To check if the chicken wings are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the wing; it should read 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve the chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or ranch dressing.
