Karaage (唐揚げ) is Japanese-style fried chicken (two words: kara age). It is a great appetizer to go with drinks, a kid (and adult) friendly dinner entree, and also a perfect item for a Bento lunch box. Japanese Karaage is usually seasoned with garlic and ginger along with soy sauce, coated lightly with flour, and deep fried. Because it’s fried in oil, Karaage may not be the healthiest Japanese food, but it’s certainly a very popular dish in Japan.
