Try this simple yet delicious chicken karaage recipe for Japanese-style fried chicken flavored with ginger, garlic, sake, and soy sauce. Serve as an appetizer or with rice and veggies to make a yummy meal. It even tastes good cold; my mom used to make this to take with us on picnics.

  • 1 tablespoon sake (japanese rice wine)
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
