This is Toriniku Tatsuta-Age, or Japanese style deep-fried chicken nuggets. The chicken nugget is crispy on the outside, moist, tender on the inside, and pairs beautifully with the Japanese style mayonnaise that I had posted earlier.

Method
Cut each piece of chicken into bite-sized or about 1 ½ inches pieces. Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, sake, mirin, garlic, ginger juice, and vegetable oil. Set aside for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oil to 350˚F/180˚C in a wok or deep fryer.
Coat the chicken pieces with potato starch. Deep-fry a few pieces of chicken at a time until brown and crisp. Drain on paper towel. Serve hot or warm with Japanese style mayonnaise.
