Nagoya Style Fried Chicken Wings
One of my husband’s favorite Japanese meals that
he always requests to eat when we are in Japan is Yakitori. Yakitori means
“grill (yaki) chicken (tori)” in Japanese and Yakitori restaurants typically
serves their delicacies on a wooden skewers
With “chicken” in the name, you guessed right, the main
ingredients are mostly from chickens. Typical chicken parts served
on skewer include thighs, meatball, skin, hearts, wings, cartilage, and
gizzards. Based on your preference and chicken parts, you pick seasonings
– either shio (salt)
or tare ( yakitori
sauce ) – for each skewer. Other popular skewers besides chicken
parts are bacon asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, fried tofu, bacon quail egg, and
pork cheek meat.
These chicken wings are deep fried to perfection and then
coated with sweet soy sauce. This style of deep fried chicken ( we call
it Karaage)
with the sweet sauce is referred to as Nagoya
style because they were originated from there ( Nagoya is
located in central part of Japan). Every time when these chicken wings
are served, our family would need to divide the pieces into equal shares so our
children wouldn’t fight over who had more or less pieces. Since my family
loves this dish so much, I knew I had to come up with something similar,
and finally I was able to come close to duplicating the flavor .
Ingredients
· 2 lb chicken wings ( flats/drumettes ) ( we only
used 5 wings/1 lb today )
· neutral flavor oil ( vegetable, canola, etc ) ( for deep
frying)
· white sesame
seeds (roasted/toasted )
Sauce:
· 1 cup mirin
· ½ cup soy sauce
· 3 Tbsp sake
· ⅓ cup sugar
· ¼ tsp Kosher salt
· 2-3 ginger ( sliced ) ( I put a little bit more today)
· 2 cloves garlic ( crushed or minced )
Instructions
1.
In a small saucepan, heat all the ingredients for Sauce to a
boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce
thickens and reduced (the sauce will get thicker as the temperature cools down)
2.
Meanwhile, cut the wings at the joint. Rinse in cold water and
pat dry with paper towel.
3.
Dredge the chicken wings in potato starch and remove the excess.
4.
Deep fry the wings at 320F (160C) until 80% cooked, about 10
minutes. Drain oil on wire rack or paper towel for 3-5 minutes.
5.
For the 2nd time, deep fry at 350F (180C) until the wings are
crispy, about 5 minutes. The wings should be golden brown.
6.
Using a tong, coat the chicken wings in the sauce or serve the
wings on a plate and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle white sesame seeds and serve
immediately.
