Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mochiko flour, potato starch, eggs, sugar, soy sauce, mirin, chopped scallions, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
- Cut the chicken thighs into strips and add them to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight.
- In a Dutch oven, heat enough vegetable oil to submerge the chicken to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
- Carefully add chicken pieces to the hot oil, cooking in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Drizzle the fried chicken with spicy mayo and sprinkle with furikake before serving.

Notes
Monitor oil temperature and allow fried chicken to rest on a wire rack for optimum crispiness. Customize spicy mayo according to taste preferences.
