Hi Sarah,

Unfortunately, I’m not sure this batter will translate well to the air fryer. It probably won’t be bad, but my guess is it’ll come out quite dry. I’m actually experimenting with all kinds of air fryer recipes right now, including karaage, so stay tuned for updates! 🙂

Hi Yuto, the recipe looks delicious! Can you also cook the Karaage in an air fryer? If so, do you have any recommendations? Thanks, Sarah

Hi Joyce,

Thank you for your comment! I’m happy to hear you both enjoyed the karaage, that really makes my day! The Hailstone effect can definitely be a bit tricky depending on the starch. As for the starch choice, cornstarch is a good alternative too, but if potato starch is readily available in your area, I think you’ll find it a bit more forgiving. I hope you guys will enjoy this again! 🙂

Thank you, Yuto, for this wonderful Karagga chicken. My husband enjoyed it so much,he asked to prepare it again tonight. Everything went very smoothly until I tried your Hailstone effect. The cornstarch – no tapioca on hand – and lemon juice stuck to the pan, so I added more juice and even a bit of water to scrape it up. It was almost liquid, so I will try again, using more cornstarch to make it easier to form around the chicken. My first attempt two nights ago was DELICIOUS.
