When you travel to other cities in Japan, you will find various local dishes. There is this famous dish called Tebasaki (chicken wings) in Nagoya, which is located in the middle of Japan. Unfortunately I was not able to try it when I traveled to Nagoya several years ago as I was busy for trying another dishes, but here is the recipe so you can make it at home or wherever you are!
I made this for our family Christmas this year. I used boneless and skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken wings. It will be easier to eat but you could make it either way.
Serve 4 to 5
Total time: about 20 min
- 2 lbs of boneless and skinless chicken thighs (or chicken wings) cut into bite size pieces
- Flour to coat the chicken
- Oil for deep frying
[Sauce] - 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon of Mirin
- 3 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon of Sake
- 3 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon of Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of white sesame
- 1 teaspoon of grated garlic
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
2. Coat the chicken evenly with flour.
3. Pour at least 2-inches vegetable oil in deep skillet or wok. Heat oil over medium heat. (Drop a bit of batter or a small chicken piece into hot oil. If batter or a chicken piece rises to surface immediately, oil is ready for frying.) Slide the chicken gently into hot oil. Fry the chicken for about 6 or 7 min.
4. Transfer the chicken into the sauce bowl and soak it well. Repeat 3 and 4 until all the chicken for the meal has been fried and soaked in the sauce.
5. Enjoy while it's hot! Add some black pepper or Shichimi Togarashi
(Assorted chili pepper) if you like it spicier.
