AI-assisted estimate — always verify allergens and dietary suitability yourself.
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the chicken thigh pieces, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and mirin, and toss to coat.
Step 2
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, up to 2 hours.
Step 3
Drain the chicken from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off.
Step 4
Toss the chicken pieces in the cornstarch until evenly coated.
Step 5
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy pot to 350°F.
Step 6
Fry the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and it reaches 165°F.
Step 7
Drain on paper towels and let rest for 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
For extra crispness, fry the chicken a second time for 1 minute, then drain again.
Step 9
Serve hot with lemon wedges, if desired.
