Method
For the amazu sauce, combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer and cook until it forms a syrupy sauce, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely before using.
Make the Karaage sauce by whisking the amazu and ponzu together. Reserve ½ cup of sauce for dipping, and use the rest to marinate the chicken. Let chicken marinate for at least 2 hours.
Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. Coat the marinated chicken with it.
In a heavy pot, add enough vegetable oil to deep-fry the chicken. Fry the coated chicken until golden brown, about 7 minutes.
Drain excess oil and serve the crispy fried chicken with the remaining Karaage sauce as a dip.
