Recipes Cuisine Asian Japanese Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) with Honey Mayoster Sauce 5.0 (5) 4 Reviews 4 Photos Karaage (Japanese fried chicken) with honey mayoster sauce is very easy to make, and my guests always enjoy it a lot! It can be served as an appetizer or over a bed of rice as a quick weekday dinner! I usually marinate it the night before to give it more flavor, but if it's a last-minute meal you are preparing, no worries because there's still dipping sauce! Serve hot with shredded lettuce and a lemon wedge.

Add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight. Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Beat egg in a bowl until smooth. Add panko bread crumbs to a shallow bowl. Dip chicken in beaten egg, letting excess drip off. Press into panko until completely coated. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add chicken, in batches, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Whisk Japanese mayonnaise, mirin, remaining 2 tablespoons honey, Dijon mustard, and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce together in a bowl; pour sauce over chicken. Editor's Notes: Japanese-style mayonnaise is tangier than its American counterpart. Look for the Kewpie brand online or at specialty groceries.
