8 boneless, skin-on chicken legs (about 2 ½ pounds|1.2 kilograms)

Directions
- In a large bowl, mix the ginger, sake, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons tablespoons togarashi, the garlic, and lime juice. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
- Heat 2-inches oil in a large saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 350°F.
- Place potato starch in a large dish. Working in batches, coat the chicken in the potato starch, shaking off any excess. Fry until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and zest the kobosu over the top. Serve with kewpie mayonnaise sprinkled with remaining togarashi.
