Easy Tokyo fried chicken recipe. This fried chicken recipe has been popular in Japan for decades. It’s crispy, juicy, and flavorful with a light soy sauce-based coating.
I marinated the chicken overnight in teriyaki sauce, then dust it with cornstarch before frying instead of the flour. It makes chicken a slightly lighter crust. Use as an appetizer or main dish.
