Adult's Fried Chicken

I follow Tastemade Japan at Instagram and Facebook. There was this recipe that stand out particularly so I gave it a try!

Translation in English always sounds weird but I'm not lying! If you want super crunchy skin with juicy chicken on the inside, this is the recipe for it!

Adult's Fried Chicken

Adult's Fried Chicken
- 5 Chicken Drumsticks, skinless
- 50ml Kaki No Tane(small crescent-shaped fragments of senbei), crushed
- Sliced Lemon for garnish

Marinate:
- 1 tsp Ginger, gound
- 1 tsp Garlic, gound
- 1 tbsp Sake
- 1/2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Sansho(Japanese Pepper) or Ground Pepper
- 1 tsp Hanasansho(Sichuan pepper) or Crushed Red Pepper

Tempura Batter:
- 50ml flour
- 50ml cold water

1. Cut drumstick into "tulip cut": With scissors, cut the meat from the inside so you're able to flip the meat inside out.
** You can skip this step if you want to speed the process then start at Step 2.

2. Marinate for 30min or overnight.

3. Pre-heat oil in a pan at medium-high. Prepare tempura batter.

4. Dunk chicken into tempura batter, then into Kaki No Tane and then deep fry.

5. Deep fry for 7-8min or until it's fully cooked.

6. Drizzle with lemon to serve.

Subtle Smile

Changed my usual brush and gave me new style I like.
 I told myself not to focus on detail and find simple shapes to create the form.

Then I found this.

Gift Wrap Decoration 6: Apple Blossom

This time I did drawing of Apple Blossom from Shopkins for a 10 years old girl.

Toys they had in my generation were cool too but I am also jealous so many cute toys are out there now.
