Ingredients:
- 1kg Chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp soy
- 2 tablespoons sake
- ¼ teaspoon sugar (I used Natvia)
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger (up to 1 tablespoon)
- ¼ cup Potato starch (or cornflour or any flour)
- Lemon wedges to garnish and squeeze over to serve
Method:
- Mix the soy, sake, sugar, garlic and ginger in a lidded container large enough to fit the chicken.
- Cut thighs into rough pieces, around 4cm x 4 cm pieces or approximately 3-4 pieces per thigh.
- Add to the marinade and allow to marinade for at least a couple of hours, ideally overnight.
- Preheat a fan-forced oven to 180 C.
- Coat each piece of chicken in the potato starch and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper or a silicon mat, making sure they are evenly spread and not overlapping.
- Spray with olive oil and bake for 15-20 mins.
- Turn them over and bake for a further 10 mins until golden all over.
- Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
