[@StraightUpEats]

This is the perfect dipping sauce for this chicken! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2queKqKhc6CmNU I LOVE FRIED CHICKEN! 👍 IF YOU LOVE IT TOO!!!

Just made this recipe tonight for my husband. He often complains about a lack of flavour in karaage - and tonight he was blown away. The only thing I did differently to you was marinade the chicken over night. Thanks so much for the recipe!

[@DianasHandler]

When you did the taste test I was like “hold up, is that Mr. Eats?!?!” I had no clue you had a channel but man, that triple fry technique is about to be revolutionary!

[@evetucek5185]

this is such a great recipe, thanks! Do you ever use an air fryer for your karaage ?

[@stantwice8384]

This looks so good!

[@StraightUpEats]

Hi stan, lol! I see you've got a new name, haha! But so good to see you again and I'm glad I can recognize you by your profile pic! Yes, I'm sure you'll LOVE these! Mrs. Eats and I are both on a diet now, so when I was editing this, I was DYING to fry up some chicken! Have you had Japanese karaage before?

Ah yes, nothing more sad than soggy fried chicken! Next time you decide to give it a try, I know this recipe will deliver that crunch that you're looking for!

[@Nishiskitchenrecipe]

Looking yummy 😋

Thank you Nishi! Yes, it's REALLY tasty! Have you had Japanese fried chicken before?

[@gakkibear]

I wish I could eat karaage everydayyyyyy, I also wish they debone thighs here in Canada. This recipe is my go to as well^^!

[@StraightUpEats]

Hi Gakki, sorry for the late reply! I'm so glad you enjoy karaage, and I agree with you, I could eat it on the daily! Surprised to hear that they don't debone thighs in Canada! Well, on the flipside, it's almost impossible to find bone-in chicken pieces in Japan. Makes it really hard to make proper chicken broth! I'm glad that you enjoy the recipe! Happy to provide it to you and I hope that you find another favorite on my channel! Thanks again for your comment, Gakki!

I do a double fry, but I’ll try your method one day.

[@CriticalEatsJapan]

This looks so incredible! And that crunch! Why you gotta do this to me? 👍

[@StraightUpEats]

Trust me, Critical! I was DYING while editing this, haha! For three days straight I’ve been craving karaage!! I’ve been too lazy to fry some more, so it seems like my lethargy is keeping me from eating my weight in fried chicken!

[@Sakura_gaoo]

Karaage, shishito, kewpie, shichimi ? Oh yeah, TRIPLE FRY, shout it loud 😋 🤗👍🏾

[@StraightUpEats]

Oh yeah, you KNOW it, Sakura!! So good to see you again, by the way! How's everything on your end?? I hope you're hanging in there! Japan finally started opening the borders up for people to re-enter if they have a valid visa (like spousal visa or student visa), so that's a good sign! Hopefully it'll open up soon so you can make your way back here! What's the first thing you're eating when you get back into Japan? ;)

[@Sakura_gaoo]

@@StraightUpEats Everything's OK Ken, tysm for wondering ! Still have end of october bookings OK but, lbh, tourist visas will be the last ones accepted and it won't be for this year :( Also booked new dates for january and march 2021 before prices increase crazy when the travel ban lift will be OK... fingers crossed ! Can't wait and during this time I'm just saving more money to fully enjoy ^^ Right now ? Just craving for a fatty tonkotsu ramen & extra shashu ! Or fresh tamago sando... Or a Ringo apple pie.. I'm lost LOL For a triple fry, crunchy and oishii Karaage, just waiting for your and Mrs Eats' invitation (^o^) Hope to see you soon and, during this time, take care ! Sending ya +++ vibes and much love for both of you !

[@StraightUpEats]

Oh yeah, tourist visas will definitely be the last ones to be given the "OK", but you know that Japan is ready to have their tourists back, haha! We actually went to Hokkaido recently for a short trip and although the lack of tourists and crowds were nice in some regards, it felt kind of sad in others. There's just a different kind of energy when the streets are bustling with people! Hopefully when you do end up back here, the country isn't at 120% capacity with tourists! That way you can get more space and won't have to spend as much time waiting in line to buy and eat! But yes, smart to just hunker down and save that money! Then you can make your trip even more epic! Sakura, you're welcome anytime for some triple-fried chicken! Or maybe something even more epicly delicious...! You'll have to wait a bit to find out what that means! Mrs. Eats and I have some big plans, but that information will come out later ;) Thanks as always for stopping by and hanging out, Sakura! Always good to see you and read your wonderful comments!

I usually finish mine at the air fryer. Less oil, more flavor

[@elisenguyenquoc6844]

Ok I'll try this one... This is one of my favorite dish, sometimes it turns incredible, and sometimes I don't know why, the oil stick to the chicken's crunsh and it's saggy... :( Also I lot my temperature checker, that's maybe why! See you soon, will update my comment! :)

[@ThatBrunetteYouTube]

What can you tell me about "silking"? I've only read about it.

[@StraightUpEats]

Brunette!! Hope you're doing well!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you mean "velvetting"? If that's what you're talking about, I can tell you all about it! Velvetting is a technique used in Chinese stir-fries, mainly, to tenderize the meat. Thinly sliced meat gets mixed with baking soda and corn starch and a bit of liquid like soy sauce, cooking wine, etc. The baking soda is there to chemically tenderizes the meat. The meat then gets cooked by itself in a bit of oil (lots of Chinese take-out places throw it in the deep fryer). The cornstarch cooks around the meat and forms a barrier that keeps the juice inside. This is one of the biggest that most people are missing when they do stir-fries at home and why most Chinese places usually have SUPER tender meat in their stir-fries. Hope that helps and thanks for the question!

I have a question about what very few people seem to address, how do you dispose of the leftover oil?

Hello Ken ,so good to see you aww you have a handsome face and Mrs Eats is beautiful, so your face is a plus in front of the camera and I'm sure in person even better 🙂 KEN question can I use chicken breast as well?

[@StraightUpEats]

Hi Elvina! So good to see you! I know my face isn't as beautiful as Mrs. Eats, but thank you for your sweet words! Yes, chicken breast works as well! I personally haven't tried it, but skin-on, boneless chicken breasts will fry up great! You can try the same time, temperature, and method that I used, and adjust it depending on whether the breast meat is dry or not! By the way, have you had karaage before? I gotta tell you, I love my Popeye's fried chicken, but Japanese Karaage is a solid #2 in my book!

[@elvinawashington910]

@@StraightUpEats Never had it but I'm going to try your way it looks so delicious. I like popeye's fried chicken also But...not to sound vain I'm the queen of making and seasoning the best soul and Chinese fried chicken ever. My father and mother always combined seasoning together to feast. When I visit you guys l Make some for you.

@@elvinawashington910 Wow that would be great! I'd love to try some of your fusion fried chicken! Speaking of Chinese fried chicken, I remember one of the chefs at my parent's restaurant would make fried chicken that was seasoned with Chinese five spice powder. It was SO good! I'm sure your fried chicken will taste super good like that! Oh yeah, about Popeye's, I REALLY enjoy it, especially when I come back home to visit my family! But I always feel so bad and heavy after enjoying some, haha! I also have to say, I tried their chicken sandwich and was SORELY DISAPPOINTED! All hype, no substance!

[@elvinawashington910]

@@StraightUpEats yeah and just think people were actually fighting for that Popeye's chicken sandwich 😂and KEN your absolutely right, my father created his spices and he used several and my mother used 5 and marinated overnight for frying omg so freaking good. So you and Mrs Eats prepare for some hearty eating. I love cooking and baking. O.k. Ken Be well, Be safe and always keep it cooking 🤗

Lol, I know right?? Getting in a fight over some food when you can just go to the next restaurant and get something else to eat, haha! Seems like there are people with too much time on their hands if they get that worked up over a mediocre chicken sandwich! Wow, that sounds like an amazing fusion of flavors and techniques in that chicken! Unique, flavorful spices, tasty marinade, and perfect frying? Sign me up!!

[@Monnis3]

Can you use an air fryer? Came here from r/japanesefood

[@StraightUpEats]

Hi Mon, thanks for stopping by! Glad to have you here! As far as an airfryer, you may be able to, but I would suggest (if possible) spritzing the chicken pieces with a bit of oil on the outside so that the crust can brown evenly. I don't know what time and temperature you would use, so you would have to experiment on that end. I think one method that could work is to go through with the actual frying process, but only do a single fry for 1 minute, then airfrying it the rest of the way until it's cooked. The crust will be coated with enough oil for it to be "properly" fried, but it won't absorb as much oil. But at that point, you might as well go through the rest of the fry with the oil. We use our airfryer to reheat karaage all the time and it works great for that, but just never tried it to actually cook karaage because the triple-fry works so well! Anyway, thanks so much again for stopping by! Hope to see you around for the next video!

[@ChopzDrake75]

Where in the hell did you get those big thighs?

[@sakurakentasha1851]

They never put peppers like that. It’s always cabbage. This isn’t traditional Japanese karaage.
