Karaage - Fried chicken

Japanese: 空揚げ - からあげ

...This also applies to bone crackers, which are made by deep-frying the backbone of horse mackerel, whiting, conger eel, etc., and the authentic way to deep-fry tofu is to deep-fry it without any sauce. Karaage is also written as karaage. Originally, it meant deep-frying without any sauce, but nowadays it often refers to deep-frying that is coated with potato starch or other ingredients to reduce moisture.

From [Fly]

...A Western-style fried food. It usually refers to meat, fish, shellfish, or vegetables that are fried in a batter of flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs, and is often called a cutlet when meat is used. In a broader sense, it also includes fried foods such as French fries, which are deep-fried without battering the ingredients, fried chicken, which is fried with flour, and fritters (called beignet in French) which are deep-fried in a batter made of flour, eggs, beer, etc.
