Chicken Karaage 鶏の唐揚げ

I seldom deep fried food, I find it so wasted to use up so much oil for deep frying food :P Moreover it is rather unhealthy to consume deep fried food often. So once in a while is fine to indulge and this dish sure will please everyone! Who can resist deep fried chicken right?! :D

Method

1. Combine all seasoning, except potato starch, in a small bowl.
2. Add in chicken chunks and marinate for at least 30mins or overnight in fridge.
