Steps

1
Cut the chicken into large bite-size pieces. Toss with the soy sauce, sake, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil, then marinate for 15 minutes.
2
Mix the cornstarch and flour. Lightly drain the chicken and coat each piece just before frying.
3
Heat the oil to 170°C / 340°F. Fry the chicken in batches for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden and nearly cooked through.
4
Rest for 2 minutes, then fry again for 1 minute at 190°C / 375°F for an extra-crisp finish.
5
Drain well, season lightly if needed, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
