*What is “Zangi”?*
Hokkaido’s soul food, Zangi (ザンギ) is a local fried chicken dish loved by Hokkaido citizens that can be found in supermarkets, izakayas (Japanese pubs), and family restaurants all over the prefecture, but it is not well-known in Japan. Zangi is often confused with karaage (唐揚げ), otherwise known as “Japanese fried chicken”, which can be found all over Japan. In fact, even Japanese people often don’t know the difference! So we’re here to taste and tell you the difference between zangi and karaage, two delicious fried chicken favourites from Japan!

*Zangi or Karaage?*
The main difference between zangi and karaage can be seen in the traditional zangi, which includes bones, but nowadays zangi comes in boneless form and sauce-drenched versions called zantare. So how is the boneless version different to karaage? It’s all about the timing of the seasoning! Want to know more about the flavours and how each Japanese fried chicken dish tastes? Watch to find out!

*Where does the name “Zangi” come from?*
Zangi is a word that originally came from the Chinese “jaji” or “zagi”, meaning “chicken”. With the “n”, meaning “lucky” or “happiness” in Japanese, this Hokkaido delicacy translates as “Lucky Chicken” and if you’re lucky enough to visit Hokkaido, you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to try this famous dish!
