What is Taki fried chicken?

“Taki” means dry, and “chicken” means chicken. The dish is named this way because it is made by soaking the chicken in taki sauce. Taki fried chicken is, therefore, a dish where the chicken is first marinated in the taki sauce and then deep-fried until it turns golden brown.

But Taki’s chicken is not fried with sauce in the recipe and is not based on Japanese ingredients or culture. That’s why we say “Taki” fried chicken for short.
