Crispy and juicy fried chicken made with chicken breast. The tartar sauce made with egg yolks marinated in miso is the key to its flavor. Resting the chicken after frying allows it to cook through with residual heat, resulting in a moist finish. The homemade charcoal breadcrumbs provide an excellent texture.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (8 pieces)

  • Chicken Breast 1 pc (30-35g per piece x 8 pieces)
  • Hard-boiled Eggs 2 pcs
  • Egg Yolks 2 pcs
  • Charcoal Breadcrumbs (to taste)
  • All-purpose Flour (to taste)
  • Beaten Egg (to taste)
  • Green Bell Pepper (to taste)
  • Paprika (to taste)
  • Miso Paste (for marinating) 1 tsp

Seasonings

  • Salt (a pinch)
  • Pepper (a pinch)
  • [A] Miso Paste 150g
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 70ml
  • [A] Japanese Pepper (Sansho) (a pinch)
  • [B] Mayonnaise 3 tbsp
  • [B] Miso Paste (for marinating) 1 tbsp +
  • [B] Taihaku Sesame Oil 1 tsp
  • [C] Salt (a pinch)
  • [C] Sesame Oil (to taste)

Steps

  1. In a bowl, add 150g Miso Paste and gradually add 70ml Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) while mixing until smooth.
  2. Add Japanese Pepper (Sansho) and mix further.
  3. Spread half of the miso marinade on the bottom of a lidded container, place 2 Egg Yolks on top, and cover with the remaining miso marinade.
  4. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 day.
  5. Finely chop the Green Bell Pepper and Paprika.
  6. Season the chopped Green Bell Pepper and Paprika with a pinch of Salt and Sesame Oil (to taste).
  7. Arrange on a serving plate in a tree shape.
  8. Finely crush 2 Hard-boiled Eggs using a sieve and transfer to a bowl.
  9. Add the marinated 2 Egg Yolks to the bowl while crushing them and mix.
  10. Add 3 tbsp Mayonnaise and mix.
  11. Add a little over 1 tsp Miso Paste (for marinating) and mix further.
  12. Add 1 tsp Taihaku Sesame Oil and mix well. The tartar sauce is now complete.
  13. Remove the skin from 1 Chicken Breast and cut into uniform pieces of about 30-35g each. (Key Tip!) Cutting the meat into uniform sizes ensures even cooking during frying.
  14. Place the cut Chicken Breast in a bowl, sprinkle with a pinch of Salt and a pinch of Pepper, and lightly knead.
  15. Add 1 tsp Miso Paste (for marinating) and knead it into the chicken.
  16. Break apart the pre-torn, spread out, and dried Charcoal Bread by hand to create breadcrumbs.
  17. Coat the Chicken Breast with All-purpose Flour (to taste), Beaten Egg (to taste), and Charcoal Breadcrumbs (to taste) in that order.
  18. Carefully place the coated Chicken Breast into oil heated to 180-185°C (350-365°F). Fry for 1 minute 30 seconds while maintaining the oil temperature between 170-175°C (338-347°F).
  19. Remove the fried Chicken Breast from the oil and let it rest for 3-4 minutes. (Key Tip!) Resting allows the residual heat to cook the center slowly, resulting in a juicy finish.
  20. Arrange the fried Chicken Breast in the center of the garnished plate.
  21. Serve with the prepared tartar sauce.
