Tips

[Low-sodium pointers]
Kara-age usually involves marinating the chicken before frying. Here, instead of marinating, we sprinkle the kara-age with curry salt. Because the seasonings coat the outside of the chicken, you're able to enjoy the saltiness as soon as you put the kara-age in your mouth. The sodium content for this recipe is only 0.8 g per serving - half that of regular marinated fried chicken!
