It seems that the "fried chicken boom" is coming to Japan now. According to the chairman of the Japan Karaage Association, the boom started around 2009, and there are now more than 80 fried chicken specialty stores in Tokyo alone.

However, the drawback is that fried chicken has a lot of oil. For young women who care about calories and young men who are threatened by doctors that they will get diabetes at this rate, it is one of the side dishes that they want to eat but cannot eat much.

Philips in the UK sells "Air Fryer" which can make fried food without using any oil. This is a device that can cook potatoes and meat as if they were fried by convection of air at 200 degrees. Compared to conventional fried foods, it can cut fat by up to 80%.

It sells for £ 128.99 on Amazon.co.uk in the UK, but they won't send this item to Japan. You can buy parallel imports at Amazon.co.jp in Japan. This is 34,899 yen. The price is a little high.

Recently, recipes for making fried chicken in the oven or microwave have been published, and if you follow it, you can make quite delicious fried chicken without AirFryer. Still, what are the benefits of buying an AirFryer? ...... Hmm, no! But even if you know that, it's a product you'll want a little. I would buy it if it was a little cheaper.
