Chicken Breast is Popular Overseas

However, after six months in Finland, I started to see chicken thigh in various supermarkets. To be precise, it may be that I finally discovered that thigh meat is sold in the market. The thigh is smaller than Japanese thighs and does not have the skin on it. Probably due to the different working procedure. But I am very grateful that I do not have to remove it from the bone myself.
My Karaage and the Batter
My karaage is sweetly seasoned. I have eaten fried chicken at many restaurants, but I think our karaage is the best. If you think sweet seasoning is not acceptable, please give it a try. The rumor got around that Ahi’s karaage was somehow delicious, and at my high school’s sports day, I packed a lunch box full of karaage and completed the lunch box by exchanging with my friends.
