Chicken Tatsuta (チキン タツタ?) is a Japanese-style fried chicken. Tatsuta indicates a way of cooking, which is a type of deep frying. After marinating meat/fish, sprinkle the meat with Japanese katakuri-ko (potato starch) before frying. Corn starch can be used if katakuriko is unavailable. Tatsuta dishes are cooked with pork or mackerel as well. They can also be served for lunch with bread as a kind of sandwich or bun.
Famous quotes containing the word chicken:
“Sometimes I lifted a chicken that warn’t roosting comfortable, and took him along. Pap always said, take a chicken when you get a chance, because if you don’t want him yourself you can easy find somebody that does, and a good deed ain’t ever forgot. I never see papa when he didn’t want the chicken himself, but that is what he used to say, anyway.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
