Chicken tatsuta (チキン タツタ) is a Japanese-style fried chicken burger sold and trademarked by McDonald's Japan.
Tatsuta-age indicates a way of cooking using deep frying. After marinating meat or fish, the meat is sprinkled with Japanese katakuri-ko (potato starch) before frying. Corn starch is also used if katakuri-ko is unavailable. Tatsuta dishes are cooked with pork, mackerel or whale as well. They can also be served for lunch with bread as a kind of sandwich or bun.
