Japanese Fried Chicken

by Mike Smith

I love travelling to Japan, for many reason.  The number one reason on my list is the food.  From city to city, you get a totally different sampling of cuisine.  Things can differ so much from hiroshima to tokyo and everywhere in between.  One thing that is constant though is the introduction of American food to Japan.  You can find hamburgers, barbecue chicken and fried chicken in most major cities in Japan.  And the fried chicken legs are to die for in Japan!  Next time you are in Japan you have to try them out.  In the meantime, you can make them at home pretty easily.

Strange, because when you think of Japanese food you automatically think of sushi and fish, but who knew the Japanese could make delicious fried chicken legs.  It’s true…and it’s really simple.  Everybody loves fried chicken, but hardly anybody makes it at home.  I’m not exactly sure why this is.  It’s very simple to do and if you have a huge family to feed (especially kids), it’s quite economical…cheap.

Here are the ingredients you will need to make Japanese Fried Chicken Legs:

12 Chicken Legs,

2 Tablespoons Milk,

1 Teaspoon Salt,

1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder,

1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour,

Vegetable Oil for frying and that’s it.

Once you’ve done this it’s time to cook and the cooking directions are very simple.  Cooking Directions: Put salt and garlic powder on chicken legs and leave them for 10 minutes in a bowl. Put milk on the chicken. Spread flour on dried chicken legs. Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 350 degrees and fry the chicken legs for 10 minutes.  Simple, right?

Once you give this dish a try, you’ll end up making it weekly.  It’s delicious and cheap, so it’s perfect for a family that is on a food budget.  After you make this you’ll have to admit that the Japanese can make some good fried chicken legs.  Next time in Japan, check out their fried food places…they are awesome.

Now, you can try other Japanese dishes!  Your family will thank you after each dish because they are all so tasty.  Don’t limit your Japanese food to sushi and this new fried chicken leg dish.  Good luck cooking, frying and grilling!
