Taiwanese-Japanese Fusion Deep Fried Chicken

"Kind of made this one up after I tried shooting for Taiwanese popcorn chicken but didn't have sweet potato starch. I'd already marinated the chicken in 5 spice powder so by the time I found another recipe online for Japanese-Style Deep Fried chicken, it'd been marinating for about an hour. I didn't have any "fresh grated ginger" so I used powdered ginger, omitted sesame oil altogether (ran out) and Threw it together and voila, a quick pre-dinner snack with somen, ramen noodle or rice. Tastes good, but doesn't reheat as well as I would've liked, so it's not one of those meals you can make a deal in advance. The potato starch I used is called Katakurico, which can be found at most grocery chain stores as well as every Asian market I've been. The sweet rice flour's brand is Mochiko, which I got from a little Vietnamese supermarket."
