(+) Yeah! (+)

Wraps, chicken thigh pieces and lettuce

Marinade:
soy sauce
sake
ginger
garlic
sesame oil
beaten egg
cornflour

Hot sauce:
Onion
Apple
Sugar
Cayenne pepper
Turmeric (because why not)
Tomato paste

Marinate chicken thighs, drop in medium temperature oil. Take out and rest. Drop back in high temperature oil to crispify. Serve in a wrap of hot sauce and lettuce.

Inspired by food wars obviously.

traditionally there's no sesame oil, sesame oil flavor is too strong, and oil doesn't penetrate meats/poultry so there's no point in having it in the marinade.

Strange, I've seen so many recipes using a bit of sesame oil in them

Lessons learned -

The mixture can't be too wet when trying to flour and you need to drop the chicken pieces into the hot oil rather than put them in the basket and lower that in. First time around I had a giant mass all clumped together at the bottom, total nightmare.

Absolutely delicious though.
