/kəˈɹɑː.ɡeɪ/ · noun
Japanese or Korean food that is dipped in flour and then deep-fried, typically made from boneless chicken..
Although Japan’s culinary lexicon did not include deep frying until the Portuguese introduced it in the 16th century, the country now has at least three distinct fried chicken styles: katsu, with super-crisp panko or bread crumbs, is used for pounded breasts; karaage, ginger-and-garlic-marinated thighs in a light, puffy crust of sweet-potato starch; and Nagoya-style tebasaki, or wings.
Use karaage when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
