Chicken tatsuta
Chicken tatsuta
Chicken tatsuta is a delicious Japanese dish made with marinated and lightly fried chicken. It’s known for its crispy and flavorful coating. The chicken is typically marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings before being coated in a mixture of cornstarch and flour. Then, it’s fried until golden brown. Chicken tatsuta is often served with a dipping sauce or enjoyed as a tasty appetizer or main course.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thighs or breasts, boneless skinless cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sake (Japanese rice wine) or dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil for frying
Optional garnish:
- green onions sliced
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sake, mirin, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and flour together. This will be your coating mixture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or Dutch oven to about 350°F (175°C). You want enough oil to fully submerge the chicken pieces.
- Take the marinated chicken pieces and coat them in the cornstarch-flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Carefully lower the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken pieces until all are cooked.
- If desired, garnish the crispy chicken tatsuta with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve the chicken tatsuta hot as an appetizer or main dish. It pairs well with steamed rice and a side of dipping sauce, such as soy sauce mixed with a little bit of mirin and grated ginger.
