There are thousands of fried chicken recipes out there, but this might be one of the quickest and tastiest you have ever encountered. Whether served with a bowl of rice or just on its own, these karaage never disappoint.
If you want to serve karaage over rice, whisk together a dash of soy sauce, mirin and sesame oil, then drizzle it on top to add extra flavour.

2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts/ or chicken thighs with fat trimmed (cut into bite-sized pieces)

1/3 cup corn starch
Olive oil (for deep frying)
Kewpie (Japanese mayonnaise), shredded seaweed and chopped green onions or coriander (for garnish)
Seasoning
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
1 tsp ginger (grated)
1 tbsp sake (or white wine)
