Püf Noktaları

To achieve perfectly crispy Karage, make sure the oil is hot enough before frying. A temperature of about 170°C (340°F) is ideal. Skip the overcrowding in the pan to maintain the oil temperature. For a more intense flavor, you can double marinate the chicken, allowing it to soak up all the delicious juices. Serve immediately for the best texture, but if you need to prepare in advance, keep them warm in an oven set at a low temperature.
