Cheap! Quick! Delicious! It’s a recipe with a triple threatヽ(´▽｀)/

This dish consists of deep-fried tebanaka (chicken wings) mixed with amakara dare (a sauce made from soy sauce and sugar).

When I started making this dish, I had planned to save half of it for the next day, but I was thwarted. Once I start eating this chicken, I can’t stop!

You’ll be hooked on the sauce, which has a good balance of saltiness and sweetness. Please give it a try.

What kind of food is tebanaka?

In Japan, chicken wings are called “Teba”.

Teba is divided into tebamoto and tebasaki. Tebamoto is the part at the base of the arm, and the tip is tebasaki.

The thick part of tebasaki is called tebanaka. Tebanaka is often sold cut in half at supermarkets.

Tebanaka has just the right amount of elasticity, and the delicious ingredients of the meat are concentrated around the bones.

What kind of sauce is amakara dare??

The flavor of the sauce made by boiling down soy sauce and sugar is called “amakara flavor.”

“Ama” means “sweet” and “kara” means “salty”. “dare” is a word that refers to “sauce”.

When sugar is heated, a caramel reaction occurs, turning it into a viscous liquid. In addition, the amino acids contained in soy sauce combine with sugar to cause the Maillard reaction. These reactions give ingredients a delicious brown color and a fragrant aroma.

Teriyaki, a Japanese home-cooked dish, is also a dish that makes use of these reactions.
