Keto chicken Karaage is Japanese fried chicken prepared with marinated bite-sized chicken thigh dusted with keto-friendly flour and deep-fried. Nowadays, karaage has become a synonym for fried chicken, although it is the name for a Japanese cooking technique where the ingredients are marinated, breaded and fried. When this technique is used to prepare the chicken, then it is called Tori. This dish pairs well with a siracha and mayonnaise dipping sauce.
