“Although Japan’s culinary lexicon did not include⟳ deep frying until the Portuguese introduced it in the 16th century, the country now has at least three distinct fried chicken styles: katsu, with super-crisp panko or bread crumbs, is used for pounded breasts; karaage, ginger-and-garlic-marinated thighs in a light⟳, puffy crust of sweet-potato starch; and Nagoya-style tebasaki, or wings.”
