‘Tatusta-agé’ is a very popular method of cooking chicken, meat or fish. Marinated ingredients are coated with ‘Katakuriko’ which is most commonly Potato Starch these days, then deep-fried. When I tried to cook ‘Tatsuta-agé Chicken’ and discovered I didn’t have enough Oil to deep-fry, I baked it the oven. Let me tell you, it might be better method to cook the marinated chicken. It is healthier and oven-baking is so easy, as I can make salad or coleslaw while baking. This marinade is quite popular with my family & friends. Good for BBQ as well.
