Steps:
- Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towel. Put the chicken and the Marinade ingredients into a ziplock bag or a bowl.
- Massage the bag well ensuring that all pieces are coated with the marinade. Marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Heat enough oil in a deep pot or pan to 160°C/320°F (note 3). The depth of the oil should be about 3-4cm/1¼-1½".
- Meanwhile, drain excess marinade from the chicken, place the chicken pieces on paper towels to remove excess liquid, and put them in a bowl.
- Sprinkle over the corn flour and turn chicken to coat every piece with corn flour.
- Fry chicken in batches. Add several chicken pieces to the oil one by one and fry for about 2.5-3 minutes (note 4). You may want to move the chicken pieces around as they tend to stick to the bottom of the pot/pan.
- Take the chicken pieces out of the oil and rest for at least 3-4 minutes (note 5) on paper towels. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
- Skim any flour crumbs from the oil if there are any and increase the temperature of the oil to 190-200°C/374-392°F (note 3).
- Put the chicken pieces back into the oil in batches and fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown and crunchy. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
- Serve immediately with shredded lettuce and parsley for decoration if using.

TEBASAKI (JAPANESE-STYLE DEEP FRIED CHICKEN WINGS)
An authentic Tebasaki recipe shared by the Nagoya International Center. Tebasaki are seasoned deep-fried chicken wings and are a specialty food of the Nagoya region of Japan. Honey can also be used instead of sugar. This doesn't make too much sauce, so make extra if you'd like. Also, mirin is a rice wine similar to sake. It has a lower alcohol content and consists of 40-50% sugar. There are a few kinds but any will do, and I'm sure most places will only sell one kind if any at all.

TAIWANESE-JAPANESE FUSION DEEP FRIED CHICKEN
Kind of made this one up after I tried shooting for Taiwanese popcorn chicken but didn't have sweet potato starch. I'd already marinated the chicken in 5 spice powder so by the time I found another recipe online for Japanese-Style Deep Fried chicken, it'd been marinating for about an hour. I didn't have any "fresh grated ginger" so I used powdered ginger, omitted sesame oil altogether (ran out) and Threw it together and voila, a quick pre-dinner snack with somen, ramen noodle or rice. Tastes good, but doesn't reheat as well as I would've liked, so it's not one of those meals you can make a deal in advance. The potato starch I used is called Katakurico, which can be found at most grocery chain stores as well as every Asian market I've been. The sweet rice flour's brand is Mochiko, which I got from a little Vietnamese supermarket.

JAPANESE CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN - KARA-AGE
This is a classic Japanese Kara-age recipe. Chicken is juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Use dark meat such as thigh meat (and if possible skin attached) to get the juiciest fried chicken! You may use corn starch instead of potato starch if it's difficult to find in your area.
