Air Fryer Chicken Karaage

Air Fryer Karaage

When you are craving for Karaage or deep-fried chicken, but you have no time or energy to make it at home, this easy air fryer chicken karaage recipe is for you! It’s also a lot healthier than the typical deep-fried Karaage. Chicken thighs are cut into small bite size pieces, seasoned well with typical pantry ingredients, and cooked in the air fryer. It’s ready in less than 30 minutes! Since the chicken is cut small, there is no need to marinade this for a long time. Smaller pieces will also shorten the cooking time and make them crispy outside just like the deep-fried karaage.

Karaage Chicken Breast

Karaage Chicken

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. We also cut chicken into smaller bite size pieces. These bite sized fried chicken can be a great appetizer or a perfect main dish to pack in a Bento box.

Crispy Chicken with Lemon Leek Sauce

You want to make Karaage Chicken at home but don’t want to deal with deep-frying oil? Can’t agree more. Here is a way to make fried chicken with a small amount of oil. A refreshingly tart lemon and leek sauce complements the crispy chicken very well. The dish is of course great when it’s hot, but it can also stand up well when it’s packed for a Bento lunch. You may want to make extra because it’s so good that they fly off the shelves!

Karaage Recipe

Karaage

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.

Tebasaki Karaage Recipe

Tebasaki Karaage

Tebasaki is chicken wings in Japanese.  Tebasaki Karaage is a very popular appetizer at restaurants and bars, just like Karaage.  Crispy and juicy Tebasaki is best eaten when it is freshly made.

It’s easy to make Tebasaki Karaage at home, but it can be a little tricky to cut the drumettes (the parts that look like little drumsticks) from whole wings.  You have to find a joint of the bones and cut through.  Cut off the wing tips (the floppy ends) if you want.  Seasoning is very similar to our Karaage recipe.  Watch our Karaage video if you’d like to know more detailed instructions.
