Ever since I started making my own shio-koji, I've been using it to pre-treat all kinds of dishes, so my chicken ham also uses shio-koji now.

Pat dry completely. Place one piece of chicken skin side down.

Place the other piece of chicken on top of the first one, skin side up.

6

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the roll and boil for 1 minute. Cover the pot with a lid, turn off the heat and leave the until it's cooled down.
