2. Let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to overnight.
3. Combine the marinated chicken with the beaten egg and flour.
4. Dredge the chicken in potato starch and let sit in a wire rack for 5 minutes to create a crust.

6. Raise oil temperature to 375°F and fry for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Season immediately with salt and togarashi.
