Super Crispy Japanese Fried Chicken is inspired by Japan’s famous Christmas fried chicken tradition, where families order crispy chicken feasts to celebrate the holidays. This Super Crispy Japanese Fried Chicken recipe combines a classic soy, sake and ginger marinade with a light flour and cornflour coating to create ultra crisp skin and juicy meat.
