Steps

1Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and marinate in soy sauce, sake, grated ginger, and minced garlic for at least 20 minutes.
2In a separate bowl, combine potato starch and all-purpose flour.
3Dredge each marinated chicken piece thoroughly in the starch and flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
4Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 340°F (170°C) and fry chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through.
5Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry the chicken again for 30-60 seconds to achieve extra crispiness.
6Drain on a wire rack and serve hot with lemon wedges.
