Chicken karaage that tastes just like the real deal…. because it is! Now take that amazing chicken and make yourself a chicken karaage pizza, you won't be disappointed.  This recipe stays true to the classic recipe with a delicious marinade of soy sauce, sake (or mirin if you’re in a pinch) fresh garlic and ginger. Japanese fried chicken is some of the best fried chicken world wide, hands down.

The secret to a great chicken karaage is deep frying it twice. Not only does this make it crispier but it also makes the chicken so very tender and delicious by giving the chicken a break in between frying. Topped with green onions for the freshness. This pizza has such bold flavors that shine, especially when you add the comforting zing and kick from the wasabi mayo. Spicy mayo for the win!
