Karaage Chicken Breast
Karaage is Japanese fried chicken, and it is usually made with chicken thighs with skin. In this recipe, we use boneless and skinless chicken breasts which are much lighter. Chicken breasts could become bland and dry when cooked, so we marinate them well with the seasoning and freshly grated ginger and garlic.
