Method
- Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl along with the soy sauce, mirin, sake, ginger and garlic. Stir well and leave to marinade for 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Meanwhile whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl until smooth.
- Place the flours into a large bowl and mix well. Drain the chicken from the marinade and in batches, dust with the flour to coat the outside of each piece of chicken.
- Heat the oil to 170 degrees and fry the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Allow the oil to heat back up in between cooking batches. Drain the chicken on kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
- Place the chicken on a platter and serve with the wasabi mayonnaise. Garnish with chopped chives and a sprinkle of sea salt.
