Ugh. the bane of my cooking life. potato starch. where I live locally I can't get my hands on it and ordering it online is a pain cause of the shipping and taxes. also I'm not the biggest fan of chicken thighs. I'm much more of a breast meat kinda guy when it comes to chicken and one of the more well known brands in Japan, Karaage-kun from Lawson's, is made with breast meat instead of thighs. So when I make karaage at home it tends to be with breast meat and corn starch since Potato starch is a pain to get. and also REALLY expensive for most packs of the stuff online. cheapest I can find is just under 4 bucks. before taxes and shipping bumps that up to 5 bucks or so for a 22oz package.

Hello chef John from Sacramento CA, John just switched over to carnivore keto diet and suffer through your videos. My wife bans me from watching while she home with out my headphones. I luckily work in a restaurant as a younger man and my chefs educated my pallette well so I can taste most things in my mind by looking at the recipe and cooking directions. So you been working the potatoes starch lately. Should follow up with German pancakes. Forks don't lie I sure want that shirt.

Great video Chef, um just put your potato or cornstarch into same bowl bowl with the chicken an marinade, mix it up save a step an get more flavour an you don't need a deep fryer, oil in a big enough pan or wok will do an i would recommend not to twice fry anything coated in only a starch you will break a tooth k. an you don't need much oil in a wok or pan 1/2 inch at most ur not frying whole chicken

It might have made sense to cut those pieces in half so everything was bite size rather than cut them after they were cooked, but otherwise a very nice simple recipe I will definitely try. Incidentally I have recently done this using buttermilk instead of the marinade and it turned out very nice too.

thanks for the nice recipe, I might try it with potato starch again after my last failure using it.
But I also think, that regular flour is good to use.
I highly reccomend mayonaise mixed with soy sauce, garlic and ginger or wasabi mayonaise, plus the lemon slice. with the karage.

Hey Boss, just asking: Is it smart to double-dip those in the starch and the marinade? I've seen some bald spots and that's not good for the juiciness of the bird-parts so as to exclude any source of failure I would double-dip.

Lovely to see a new recipe video where the thumbnail actually shows real food! As opposed to a pile of yellowish-brownish goop that always makes me think of something quite disgusting. (Even if it is garnished with parsley)

Chef John: Don't grate a fingertip trying to get those last couple molecules
Also Chef John: Pick out that little piece of skin
Me: He means from the ginger, right?
Also Me: HE MEANS FROM THE GINGER, RIGHT?

I love when Chef John uses gluten-free dredges like potato starch. Makes it so much easier to convert recipes for my celiac daughter (who misses fried chicken and chicken nuggets something awful)
