Japanese Fried Chicken With Seaweed 日式海苔炸鸡

I have been seeing my IG friends from Singapore kept sharing this yummy fried chicken. And i got to know that they bought it from the supermarket but not homemade. I try to locate this fried chicken at the supermarket here but still seem couldn't find it. So I simply replicate them at home.

This fried chicken are so yummy, fried chicken and fried nori seaweed, when enjoyed them together, it give umami taste !!  From the picture, the colour look dark brown like over fried, actually it was not, i guess the addition of seaweed tend to give darker colour.
It still taste nice even it has cooled down and lost the crispiness.
