  • Perfect Japanese fried chicken is incredibly easy to make, and the secret is as simple as frying it three times.
    This triple frying technique takes just 5 minutes from start to finish, and ensures a crispy outside and soft and tender chicken inside.
    Here's the full recipe: adamliaw.com/re...

      Was the chicken cooked thrpugh fully? Cooking the chicken for a total of 2 minutes in a fryer doesnt sound like much to me.

      Jeremy Gibbs More than enough time ,you can clearly see from the video chicken is cooked all the way through. That oil is at least 350-375 degrees. He flash frys the bone in pieces longer than meat only & explains that clearly.

Let it soak 20 minutes and used bread flower with some corn starch. Even after triple frying it it was the juicyist fried chicken I have ever tasted.

    Made this last night and used as many of the same ingredients given as possible. Was surprised how the potato flour sort of hardens and looks unappealing. Reduced the temp and wiped off some of the flour and got a much nicer bunch of wings after. The meat was tender but seemed to lack the sort of taste I was expecting. I think some more marinating might help. I probably won't make this particular version again, but I found Adam's genuine enthusiasm for his recipes very appealing and will definitely use some of these methods again and check out more of his meal ideas. Cheers.

    A long marinade isn't just about "getting flavor in" but that it helps the chicken to retain juiciness and softness, especially after getting pieced up smaller for a triple-fried karaage. I even marinate my teriyaki chicken for one or two days ahead, ideally.

    @Triring65 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    So many tricks not mentioned for this type of dish.
    The reason for frying it three times is;
    1)First fry to solidify the outer coating and take out the chicken from the oil. Reduce the heat to around 120-130℃
    2)Second fry is to cook the chicken meat thoroughly without burning the coating. Take out the chicken and reheat the oil to 180℃.
    3)Third fry is to release the oil from the coating that had absorbed through the low heat with the water evaporation bubbles coming out of the chicken.
    You will know the chicken is done from the third fry with your chopsticks, pick out the chicken pieces from the oil, if you will feel a high pitch vibration generated from the juice turning into steam within the meat through the chopsticks.

    Dammnnn. My first taste of Japanese fried chicken was in a random ramen shop in Shinjuku. It looked just like this. Tasted phenomenal. Amazing crispy outside. Man that was good.
