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

[@harristech6807]

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.

[@PhoenixWrites2309]

I think Adam might be the Bob Ross of Asian cooking bcs a) so chill b) creates beauty c) actively encourages people to join the artform in a friendly and warm way.

[@JordanDilla]

I love how clean, simple and effective his presentation is.

[@NinjaMafiaStudios]

for those struggling to get potato flour or sake, you can also use corn starch as a replacement for potato flour and rice wine vinegar with a little water for sake

[@boulderbob7425]

Oliver Carter A tart white wine will work as well, instead of sake.

[@koylo]

please dont use vinegar in this recipe, as Boulder Bob said just use a white wine instead.

[@adish6217]

[@Aiken47]

Oliver Carter is it the same as the Potato starch you get in Asian supermarkets?

[@ralmin]

Potato starch from Asian grocery is fine. Chinese names include 太白粉 and 土豆淀粉 and 马铃薯淀粉

[@LuNa7xd]

I love the way this guy talks, he makes food sound more delicious than it already is

[@stephenhan1930]

Love how simple and elegant your cooking videos are, very easy to follow along and learn without unnecessary distractions.

[@BrainOnn]

Dude I am subscribed to about 50 cooking channels but man your articulation is the best

[@BrainOnn]

Michael Mathers foreign for which country? What are you talking about? Who is stuttering?

[@BrainOnn]

Michael Mathers UK US Australia Canada New Zealand they all have different English, and there are about 20+ more countries which have English as an official language

[@zombiedude347]

His dialect is fairly neutral, making it easy to understand. A little slow for my preference, so I listen at 2x speed.

[@DuckcuD]

@Michael Mathers articulation can also mean the clarity of the description, not just the actual speech

[@HydratesSong]

He was a corporate lawyer now following his passion.

[@justeyoung]

Thank you for sharing. I love it how you give the secret/ key points the first 10 seconds of your video. A lot of other videos like to just drag on till the last minute. A breath of fresh air. I clicked subscribe because of that.

[@hilariousnickname]

I make this alllll the time based on your recipe from Destination Flavour, and it's a huge hit with me, my partner, and everywhere I make it.

You are Buddha in the kitchen. Positive vibes off the charts and you're always smiling and gently talking to the food while cooking it. Pure wholesomeness

dude , your voice is so positive sounding. Half the reason im hooked on watching. Also the food , definitely the food

[@lemminjuice]

not to mention that accent doe

[@markramos8627]

there's something in the way he talks that convinces me to believe that this recipe is a hit! thanks for the positive energy you radiate chef =)

[@candii10]

I almost ordered this from a takeout spot, now I want to try to make it! I love how empowering your explanation is ... thanks for not complicating cooking.

[@Homiloko2]

This man is oozing love for his fried chicken and I love it.

[@randmayfield5695]

Your attention to detail along with a "light touch" to your technique makes your channel my go-to for the real deal recipes. Thank you!

[@christiandelbarrio7680]

his cooking videos are probably the most soothing ones on youtube

[@boiihiu7111]

Literally one of the best things i've ever eaten and i even made it myself... i'm speechless, thank you so much for this incredible recipe!! ♥️

[@dgenesis9519]

I just finished eating my own karaage with some rice, It was delicious. I fried some chopped chillies to flavor my oil before I fry the chicken then set it a side for my dip, it became charred as I mix it with the japanese mayo, it add a little kick in my dip and was pretty happy with it. I think it is a good substitute since I dont have japanese 7 spice. Watching you really got me inspired, I'll probably try to practice more to perfect my kaarage and cook some for my relatives. Thank you for the great recipe!!!

[@maejee8189]

Is it just me that Adam's voice is very calming to listen to? Can listen to this guy all day, everyday.

Shit this is so relatable!!

[@kuritamobiletruth]

this is one of the most popular japanese cuisines. you can buy this almost anywhere in japan. so trust me this is delicious.

[@TheRealUnconnected]

kuritamobiletruth you can buy this anywhere where there are Japanese people. Nobody needs to trust you, most people watching this have had kaarage many times. Nobody knows you, there is no reason to trust your opinion you are a meaningless KZbin commentor. You should see a psychologist about your narcissism.

[@Boreganic]

TheRealUnconnected lol I know this is replying hella late but are you okay? He’s just saying this is a good food and you’re stacking him.

[@BroLy1905]

Your videos are so relaxing. Really appreciate them! Thanks, Mr. Liaw!

[@bevan7ful]

This man is unbelievably delightful

[@squange20]

We’ve been eating supermarket frozen karaage for a few months now which is quite nice, as it’s free range, but I give this recipe a definite thumbs up, and will try it.

[@celinezuan]

Is it good ? Still don’t know what recipe I need to try

[@brandon9689]

I watch a ton of cooking channels. I don't understand how it's taken me this long to discover your videos.

[@ChicagoTurtle1]

Yes!!!!! I’m so glad this karaage recipe by Adam is on KZbin!! I saw him teach it on an Aussie food series but they removed it from KZbin!!

[@jennamac2382]

I tried this today, and it was amazing! My entire family loved it! Great recipe thank you😄😄

[@danielnguyen8021]

Love it how you just came out with the secret straight up. Keep it up mate, love your work!

[@J_No_Cap]

This video made me smile from how delicious the food looks to how it was presented

[@MyRx777z]

I just made this last night followed the exact ingredient on this video, except the japanese 5 spices. I'm suprised how fast the potato flour became fried once dip lightly into the oil. Also it tasted good! Glad i found this video. Thanks ☺

[@gecko4310]

Nice. The double or triple fry ensure it’s cooked inside without overcooking. Looks good

[@tijnjansen858]

Looking for recipes on youtube, clicking a random video and seeing your happy face and I know I've arrived at the right place.

[@heinzaigner4140]

I tried several Karaage receipts but this is by far the best one. Thank you very much.

[@johncspine2787]

It’s a real rabbit hole for sure..

[@davidogan]

A wonderful channel you have created. This karaage chicken as well as so many others are such excellent recipes! Thank you.

[@Loke2112]

Thank you for the inspiration. I altered the flavor a bit as my girl friend tires of Asian because I make it so much. I made a brine with sea salt peppercorns, bay leaf and vodka. 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.

[@tabiasobi]

This looks great! Best karaage I ever had was by this wonderful Japanese mom who added a ton garlic to the marinade. That was so good, too.

[@efka28]

Hi, I’m glad I found your channel. The way you talk about food is great. I thought it would be awesome to have a ingredients list in the description.

[@cliveowensjr8522]

I love you! Your passion shows and it motivates me to cook outside the box, even with foods I feel insecure about. You're a Rockstar!

[@Liam-wv9pm]

haha he's so excited to reveal his secret at the beginning. Made this yesterday. Absolutely delicious.

[@qwertyismymom]

One thing he didn't mention (I believe) is the temperature of the oil. 180C is my 'go-to' temp for almost everything, but if you don't have a thermometer, small bubbles on a wooden spoon works too :)

[@AAL3087]

can verify re wooden spoon technique works.

[@skimmer521]

He smiles with his eyes. I love those kinds of people.

[@ponkkaa]

You're supposed to eat it on camera so we can see how crunchy and delicious it is...like Maangchi does.

[@sc120o2]

True, LOL

[@brutha84]

And a bottle of beer!

[@garthdev]

Maangchi is Korean not Japanese, however the Korean fried chicken is the best of the best EVER

[@raphylv30]

Lol!!! I love maangchi!!

[@PolarBear-mj9wt]

This is Adam not Maangchi

[@JnohD]

Made this for The Wife tonight, phenomenal. Had to sub in Corn Starch for the Potato Starch (I'll get the right thing next time I'm in a Japanese Market), and Mirin instead of Sake + Sugar (the Sake we had here is just too good to cook with). Everything you say here - the 5 min before cooking, keeping the marinade to a minimum, triple frying, all of that uniqueness, I will take to other recipes!

[@cheesybellend6842]

He only used a shot worth you tight man 😂😂😂

[@AAL3087]

Made this today - really easy recipe and technique with great results and yum! crispy delicious chicken, big brownie points won :) I substituted apple cider vinegar for sake and cornflour for potato. sprinkled a little chilli powder in with the marinade (tiny amount). I let sit for about 30 mins as i was prepping other ingredients before cooking. adde it as protein element of poke bowl.

[@MaZEEZaM]

I knew Adam would be the go-to as far as a guide to Japanese deep frying. Thanks Adam :)

[@HOPPIRI]

Mad lad's pronunciation is on point. + 15 respect

[@collieuk]

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.

[@domcisme]

dude this is great editing - nice work who ever did the post on this video

[@sunnyM261]

Hi Your recipe is quite simple so I embarked on this Japanese cooking adventure. I didn't have sake, so I used rice wine. Well, what's the outcome ? I now know why when I ate fried chicken in Japan, it tasted like that ! Crispy outside and tender inside Thank you for a simple and wonderful recipe ! Cheers from Singapore.

[@bryanjensen355]

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.
