Introduction
This karaage uses chicken tenderloin, resulting in a crispy exterior and a moist, juicy interior. By massaging the meat with mayonnaise and sugar, even the typically dry tenderloin becomes incredibly soft.
Step 1
Remove the tendons from the chicken tenders. Insert the tendon between the prongs of a fork, grasp the end of the tendon with a paper towel, and pull the fork and paper towel in opposite directions to easily remove the tendon.
Step 2
Cut the de-tendoned chicken into bite-sized pieces (about 3-4 pieces per tender).
Step 3
Place the chicken in a bowl and first add the sugar (1 tsp), massaging it in thoroughly.
Step 4
Add soy sauce (1 tbsp), sake (1 tbsp), mayonnaise (1 tbsp), grated ginger (1/2 tsp), and grated garlic (1/2 tsp), and massage well again.
Step 5
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Important Notes
To remove the tenderloin tendon: insert the tendon between the prongs of a fork, then pull the end of the tendon with a paper towel so it doesn't slip; it will come out cleanly in an instant. 💡
Massaging the sugar in first adds moisture, ensuring the meat stays tender and juicy even after cooking. ⚠️
Adding mayonnaise to the marinade prevents the meat from drying out and locks in the juices. 🍳
When frying, avoid touching the chicken until the batter has set to ensure the coating stays intact for a beautiful finish. 👥
