No taco party is complete without a fizzy lime margarita and bowl of your favorite guacamole like this smoky chipotle guacamole dip. If you’ve ever thought about having fried chicken in a taco, this recipe is for you! These tacos are everything but conventional yet extremely delicious. They’re layered with crispy, juicy pieces of Japanese-style fried chicken, quick-pickled cucumbers, crunchy cabbage, and topped with a creamy Korean-inspired kimchi mayo sauce. All the elements are delicious but it’s how they come together that puts these chicken karaage tacos over the top. They’re not too complicated to make and if you’re like us, you’ll find yourself wanting to make these again and again! Is this chicken karaage Japanese or Korean? In this totally non-traditional recipe, it’s both! We borrow the Japanese style of lightly breading and then frying boneless chicken pieces to make the chicken karaage. Then we take kimchi, a delicious Korean staple, and mix it with mayonnaise to top the tacos.
