Instructions

Chicken brine:

  • This part is optional to do but it does give the chicken a juicer taste if done. First, Mix together in a large bowl the water, shoyu, salt, sugar, lime juice, garlic, and sriracha. Add in the chicken and make sure it is covered in the brine.
  • Cover the bowl and let it soak for at least 2 hours and at best 24 hours.

Dredging the chicken:

  • To make the flour dredge, season the flour with garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium sized bowl. Whisk it well to combine. Set aside.
  • Drain the chicken from the brine when it has finished soaking. Pat dry the chicken on a paper towel, dredge the chicken in the flour seasoning, coat the floured chicken in the eggs, and dredge the chicken again in the flour. Set the floured chicken on a separate plate. Continue this process until all chickens have been dredged.

Frying:

  • Heat enough oil to fry the chicken at 350°F. Carefully drop in the chicken pieces one by one. Let it fry for about 3-5 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown.
  • Set cooked chicken aside wire rack or plate lined with paper towels.

Garlic Shoyu Sauce:

  • Combine shoyu, brown sugar, white sugar, garlic, ginger, white pepper, and furikake seasoning.
  • Heat the sauce in a pot over medium heat. Let it come to a boil and bring it down to a simmer for a few minutes. Turn off the heat and add in the green onions.
  • Dip the chicken into the sauce and serve. Or serve the sauce in a side bowl to dip the chicken leisurely. Enjoy!
