Hey guys! This time I want to make something that I know everyone loves! Karaage or Japanese fried chicken – but I always want to show you guys how to make healthy recipes – so this time we’ll do it without deep frying! Don’t worry it’s just as crispy and juicy though!

I hope you enjoy and tell me what recipes you want to see in the comments!

03:29 Let’s Eat!

Ingredients:

– 1 Large Chicken Breast (skinless or remove the skin)
– Fresh Ginger (about an inch)
– 1 clove of garlic
– 1 tbsp cooking sake
– 2 tbsp soy sauce
– 2 tbsp flour
– 2 tbsp Potato Starch (or corn starch)

For Topping
– Around ½ Green onion
– Sesame Oil (just a drizzle)
– Pinch of salt

How to make:
– Start by removing any skin or fatty bits from your chicken breast
– Then cut your chicken into bite size pieces – maybe an inch thick, try to make them all roughly the same size
– Then in a large bowl – grate 1 clove of garlic and the same amount of ginger
– Add in 1tbsp cooking sake and 2 tbsp of soy sauce and mix
– Add the chicken, and let marinate for at least 30 mins
– While your chicken is marinating, make the negishio topping by cutting half a green onion twice down the length of the stalk. This will allow you to finely cut the onion into small pieces
– Add the chopped onion into a bowl with a drizzle of sesame oil and a pinch of salt. You’re done!
– Now your chicken is done marinating – drain any of the excess marinade with a sieve or colander
– Add 2 tbsp of flour and 2 tbsp of potato (or corn) starch and mix well. Make sure to coat all the chicken
– Heat olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat, add your chicken
– Turn down the heat and cover the pan with a lid, after 2-3 minutes your chicken should turn a nice golden brown.
– Flip the chicken over, and repeat the above process of 2-3 minutes cooking with the lid
– Drain off your chicken with a paper towel and enjoy your healthy and juicy chicken karaage!

  5. PLEASE reconsider when saying "a healthier option to deep frying…" Pan frying and sautéing in (any) olive oil is NOT healthier than deep frying. 1) The oils for deep frying have a much higher smoke (burn) point than olive oil and have a lesser chance of saturating the food, when deep fried properly. 2) The more heat applied to (any) olive oil, the more carcinogenic (cancer causing) it becomes. 3) Cooking olive oil takes its flavor away, not add it to it, or the food. So, just pan frying something on only medium heat is molecularly changing the olive oil, from a healthier oil, (in a raw state) to a very unhealthy oil in a cooked state. Yes, Master Chefs you see on TV, who cook nearly everything in olive oil, get this very wrong!!!! Raw olive oil, (in reasonable quantity) is "healthier", while cooked olive oil (in any quantity) is VERY unhealthy.

    NEVER COOK IN OLIVE OIL, EVER!!! Drizzle a little (raw) over the food at service for the light olive oil taste you want.

    So, if your goal truly is "I always want to show you guys how to make healthy recipes." please research the science of cooking olive oil. Thank you.

  6. Hi, chef. That karaage is delicious and i wanna try make it at home. However, there's one ingredient i can't use in your recipe, that is sake. Is it posible to change sake with another thing without change the taste of the karaage? Arigatou gozaimasu
