Chef Akhtar's Japanese-style fried chicken is a dish you'll find yourself craving it week after week—don't say we didn't warn you. Just like traditional Japanese karaage, each bite-sized piece is unbelievably crispy on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside. Paired with fluffy vegetable fried rice, and Chef's Yum Yum dipping sauce—a spicy Kewpie-mayo aioli—this dish is an easy crowd-pleaser.
