'''Toriten''' is a Japanese [tempura](/source/tempura) style [fried chicken](/source/fried_chicken). It originated food in [Ōita Prefecture](/source/%C5%8Cita_Prefecture), and is very popular there.
Any part of the [chicken](/source/chicken) can be used. The meat is cut into small pieces, dipped in [soy sauce](/source/soy_sauce), [sake](/source/sake) and [garlic powder](/source/garlic_powder), rolled in tempura powder and deep fried. Toriten is commonly served with fresh greens, and eaten hot immediately after frying.  The most common sauce is [Ponzu](/source/Ponzu) sauce (made with soy sauce and vinegar) with [mustard](/source/Mustard_(condiment)).
In Oita, it is also popular to eat with a [Kabosu](/source/Kabosu)-based sauce. 

According to the [Oita City](/source/%C5%8Cita_(city)) website, Toriten was invented by a restaurant in Oita City. <ref> [http://www.city.oita.oita.jp/www/contents/1269517808200/index.html Oita city] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130719092109/http://www.city.oita.oita.jp/www/contents/1269517808200/index.html |date=2013-07-19 }} </ref>
However, there is another opinion that TOYO-KEN, a restaurant in [Beppu City](/source/Beppu), first created toriten. <ref>[http://www.bepputoriten.com/1187.html Beppu Toriten official website]{{Dead link|date=February 2026 |bot=InternetArchiveBot }}</ref>
