10
Brenda Sawyer Adamson
"This is a simple yet delicious Japanese-style fried chicken flavored with ginger, garlic and sake and soy sauce. Serve as an appetizer or with rice and veggies to make a yummy meal. It even tastes good cold; my mom used to make this to take with us on picnics."

It's not exactly like real Japanese Karaage because it uses cornstarch but it definitely still comes out really yummy. I personally didn't have Japanese sake, so when marinating the meat I just ...
