1. Debone the chicken legs, cut them into small pieces about 4-5 cm in size, and absorb the moisture with kitchen paper;

2. Put all the marinade ingredients except sake - 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon mirin (or cooking wine), 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (or vinegar), 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon minced ginger, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon starch, 1/2 teaspoon salt - into a large bowl and mix well;

3. Put the chicken pieces into the marinade and mix well until the chicken pieces are sticky and covered with marinade. Marinate for 30 minutes.

4. When marinating the chicken, beat an egg and set aside; put the dry starch in a large plate and set aside;

5. After the chicken has been marinated for 30 minutes, add 2 tablespoons of sake or water and mix well again;

6. Put the marinated chicken pieces into the egg liquid one by one, picking up the excess egg liquid;

7. Evenly coat the dough with a layer of dry starch and shake off any excess starch before frying.

8. Heat the oil in a pan, add cold oil, and keep it on medium heat until it is about 60% hot. Add the chicken and fry for 2 minutes. Do not add too much chicken at a time to avoid the oil temperature dropping too much. Fry until the chicken just starts to release water, that is, you can hear the sound of "oil popping", and then take it out immediately;

9. Place on a wire rack and "rest" for 4-5 minutes;

10. Heat the oil pan over medium-high heat again. When the oil temperature is about 80% hot, add the fried chicken pieces and quickly fry for about 40-50 seconds, until the surface of the chicken pieces is golden and crispy.
