Kita Kitchen Hokkaido

Hokkaido's Crispy Fried Chicken "Zangi" (ONLINE)

| What can I learn?


You will learn how to make Hokkaido-style fried chicken called "Zangi", one of Hokkaido's food icons. In this class, I'll teach you the techniques for making fried chicken that's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, including the best temperature and cooking time. It's perfect for weekend cooking and parties inviting your friends and neighbors.

| What is Zangi?


Zangi: Hokkaido-style fried chicken
This dish originally started to be served in a city called Kushiro, an important port city in eastern Hokkaido.
Unlike other types of Japanese fried chicken, the original version from Kushiro comes accompanied with a Worcestershire sauce based sweet and savoury dipper. The fried chicken itself is already super good but the sauce enhances it like ten times!! You can also enjoy different cuts of chicken.

Takafumi Bote

Teachers profile
Hi, this is Takafumi Bote. Call me Taka. I'm a cooking instructor, a YouTube chef and a former professional chef. I was born and raised in Asahikawa Hokkaido, one of the coldest cities in Japan. Ever since I was a teenager, I have loved cooking, learning about different cultures and meeting and communicating with people from all over the world. That actually led me to live abroad for many years and get knowledge about so many kinds of food. Then, after coming back to Japan, living an ordinary life, I started to feel that I wanted to do something exciting for people around the world, using my English and cooking skill. That feeling grew day by day, and year by year. Then, I finally came up with an idea of teaching Japanese cooking. The goal of my class is to "make you a better cook", so I always try to teach some professional tips using my knowledge as a former chef. Here on Washocook, I teach food from Hokkaido, which is my home island and a food capital that all Japanese people envy; we have best quality seafood, rich and delicious dairies, iconic Ramen, curry, fried chicken, lamb BBQ and the list goes on.... Are you already curious to find out? Then, I'll be waiting to see you in class!!
