Japanese Fried Chicken

With juicy marinated chicken coated in an ultra-crisp shell, Karaage is a staple of Japanese home-cooking and one of the most popular items to pack into a bento box lunch in Japan. I love fried chicken of all kinds, but of all the fried chicken in the world, Karaage is my absolute favorite. Its exquisite balance of taste, texture, and aroma is unbeatable, and like pizza, it’s even good served cold in a bento box lunch.
