Ingredients
- 1/4 cup mochiko flour (Japanese sweet rice flour)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, reserve some for garnish
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Oil, for frying
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, optional
Instructions
- Create the marinade by combining mochiko, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, eggs and green onions in a medium bowl. Make sure everything is blended. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces like nuggets, getting them as close to uniform in size as possible so they’ll cook evenly when deep-frying.
- Add chicken to the marinade and use your hands to massage the chicken pieces and make sure they’re all coated by the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
- Bring oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven.
- Fry chicken in batches until crispy, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top, if using, and serve.

Reviews
Yes I did prepare this recipe and it was good but I had a problem with what the chicken should be eaten with. The picture is not very clear. Could someone tell me?
We love this recipe, we’ve been making it for years! It takes a little work to fry the chicken but it’s worth it. I usually double the batch because it goes so fast!
