Da ji pai (ダージーパイ/大鶏排）
大鶏排 = da ji pai = zha ji pai da = big =大 ji pai = fried chicken ＝ 鶏排 zha = fry＝炸
A Taiwanese fried chicken recipe adapted to a Japanese style.
In recent years, Taiwanese cuisine such as Tapioca tea, Taiwanese castella, and lu rou fan have become popular in Japan.
Da ji pai is also called [ ji pai ] or [ Zha ji pai ], where “ji pai” means “fried chicken” and “da” means “big”.
As the name suggests, it is so big that it can hide your face.
Karaage is already a very popular dish in Japan, but Da Ji Pai (Taiwanese-style fried chicken) is becoming hugely popular due to its striking appearance.
The reason why it is so big is that the chicken breast is pounded many times and stretched thinly to make it soft and easy to eat. (This recipe uses chicken thigh meat, so there is no need to pound it.)
And this dish is not only visually impressive, but also very delicious.
“Five-spice powder” is a spice used in the famous Taiwanese dish lu rou fan. It has a complex and gorgeous aroma and flavor unique to Taiwanese and Chinese cuisine.
The crunchy batter is also one of the characteristics of this dish. In the original version, cassava flour (tapioca flour) is used, but in Japan, shiratama flour is used instead.
By simply changing the wheat flour used in the batter for your fried chicken to shiratama flour, you can achieve a truly delicious crunchy texture, so be sure to give it a try.
