Everybody loves deep-fried chicken – well, I do! Tender, juicy and delicious, karaage tastes great even when cold. You can take it on picnics or pop them in your lunch box. I often have these with a little lemon juice or dipped in Japanese mayonnaise.

My family love this recipe. It is always a hit! I drop my son Max off to football and can make this recipe and have the kitchen clean by the time I pick him up. A hump day favourite
