Instructions to make Toriten Chicken Tempura:
- Remove the skin and fat from the breast meat, and poke it several times with a fork. Cut into 8 strips along the grain.
- Put the ★ ingredients and the chicken in a plastic bag and rub in the ingredients. Close the bag and marinate for 20 minutes or more.
- Line a cutting board with plastic wrap and paper towels, and lay the marinated chicken pieces on top. Pat dry the chicken with the paper towels.
- Mix the flour and katakuriko together in a bowl.
- Mix the ● ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the combined flours from Step 4 to the ● bowl and mix with cooking chopsticks. Stop mixing while there are still lumps of flour.
- (If you over mix the batter, it'll become doughy and won't fry up crispy. It's fine if it looks like it hasn't been mixed enough.)
- Heat oil to 360F/180C in a pan. Coat the chicken pieces in the batter and deep fry for about a minute and a half.
- (Don't touch the chicken until the batter has become firm. Once it does, flip the chicken over.)
- Take out the chicken and drain them on paper towels for 3 to 4 minutes. Skim the batter crumbs out of the oil.
- Return the chicken to the 360°F/180°C oil and fry for an additional 30-40 seconds on both sides. Drain well again, and transfer to serving plates. Serve with mustard or kabosu citrus wedges to taste.
- If you fry all the chicken at once, the oil temperature will drop and the batter won't get crispy, so fry in two batches.
- Note: Dust the chicken lightly with flour before dipping in the batter to prevent it from sliding off.
