You see this served a lot at izakaya (Japanese pubs)!! I first encountered them when I went to Kyoto on a trip. This is so good. I adapted this so that it can be made easily in a microwave. You can get rid of any gaminess and soften the chicken by using sake.

Don't bash the chicken with the blade side of your knife!
Wrap the chicken quite tightly in plastic wrap!! Please adjust the cooking time depending on your microwave.
If the chicken tenders turn white they're done!
You can freeze them as-is, so they're very handy for bentos. Recipe by Kumanjuu
