Homemade Famichiki
  1. Marinate the chicken: Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl or zip-top bag until smooth. Add the chicken thighs and massage to coat fully. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

  2. Prep the coating: In a large bowl, whisk together all dry mix ingredients. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg wash ingredients until combined.

  3. Create the signature crumbles: Slowly drizzle the egg wash into the dry mix while mixing with your hands until the mixture forms fine, irregular crumbles.

  4. Coat the chicken: Remove chicken from marinade and pat very dry. Press each piece into the crumble mixture, coating all sides evenly.

  5. Fry: Heat oil in a deep pot to 170°C (340°F). Fry 1–2 pieces at a time for about 90 seconds until lightly golden.

  6. Finish cooking: Transfer to a wire rack over a baking sheet and place in a preheated oven at 140°C (285°F) for 10 minutes.

  7. Serve immediately: Drain on paper towels if needed and eat hot.
