Easy Chicken Ham
I've made chicken ham many times in the past, but found tying the ham together with string to be very bothersome. Using plastic wrap to form the ham is a huge help to the cook.
First start by rubbing in the sugar.
When you add the meat to the boiling water, it will float. Don't touch it! Just wait for the boiling to begin again, and cut the heat immediately. If you do not turn off the heat, the ham will be dry and the sugar you rubbed in will have been for nothing.
Make sure you have enough sugar and salt to easily coat the chicken breasts using your hands. Recipe by Maiyochi

Cooking Instructions
- 1
I bought boneless chicken breasts on sale.
- 2
Remove the skin from the chicken meat.
- 3
Flatten the chicken breast as best you can by butterflying and spreading the thickest part of the breast.
- 4
To each breast meat, add 1 heaping tablespoon of sugar. I used a mix of white and light brown sugars, as you can see by the color in the photo. I used 3 heaping teaspoons to make up the heaping tablespoon.
- 5
Rub the sugar on both sides evenly.
- 6
Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the chicken. This time, sprinkle uniformly on one side.
- 7
Over each breast meat, sprinkle 1 heaping teaspoon of salt. Rub the meat to thoroughly spread the salt and pepper over both sides.
- 8
Put small tears into the bay leaves and lay on the chicken. Place the chicken into an airtight bag (such as a ziplock).
- 9
Let the chicken rest in the refrigerator like this for 2 days.
- 10
After 2 days have passed, remove the chicken from the bag and place in a bowl. Cover the chicken with water and let it sit for 1 hour. After one hour, the sugar should have dissolved and you should only feel the gritty ground pepper on the surface.
- 11
After one hour, shape the ham. Pat dry the ham with a paper towel. With the pepper still attached, lay the chicken so the opposite sides face, creating a even thickness. With the bay leaves spread on top, wrap the chicken tightly like a piece of candy.
- 12
Seal the ends with rubber bands.
- 13
It should look like this.
- 14
In a pot big enough to hold the wrapped chicken, add a good amount of water, and bring to a boil.
- 15
Add the wrapped meat and wait for the boiling to resume.
- 16
As soon as it starts boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid.
- 17
Let the pot sit with the lid on for 6-7 hours. Do not lift the lid or disturb the pot. When the water has cooled the Chicken Ham is finished. It will keep in the refrigerator for 7-10 days. Note: I ate it after 20 days and it was still delicious.
- 18
The salt I used this time contains citrus peel, poppy seed, flax seed, and cayenne pepper. It is called "Uchina- shio chan." If you add other herbs to the ham, it will probably turn out good.

Easy Chicken Ham Easy Chicken Ham
It is better to wrap the chicken and then boil it instead of boiling it unwrapped, as it will tenderize the meat. Serve the removed chicken skin as an appetizer.Once you cover it with sugar and salt, let it sit. You also let it sit when removing the salt content. You put it in hot water and let it sit. The point is to let it sit for long enough that you forget that you are even making it.If you are using black pepper or herbs as seasoning, then it is easier to spread out the seasoning onto the cling film and then wrap the chicken. It also tastes great without seasoning. I tied both ends with strings. The cooling time varies according to the amount of hot water and the room temperature, but you don't need to worry bout it cooking through! I have never failed when making this. If you leave it on the stove for too long, then it will overcook and harden. Recipe by Shinsan

But you can make it moist and tender with this recipe.Do not turn on the heat after you put the wrapped chicken into the pot, since the plastic wrap may melt!It's easier to roll up the chicken, and it won't break up easily if you remove the skin.Or remove the skin first, then wrap it around the rolled chicken, then wrap in the plastic wrap!

Simple! Cheese-Filled Chicken Ham Simple! Cheese-Filled Chicken Ham
I simplified a chicken ham recipe that had been popular recently, and got rid of the need to remove the salt. You can make this by just using sugar, salt, and pepper without using cheese or seasonings. If you prep it up to step 4, then you can leave it in the fridge for several days, and just boil it when you want to eat it.The point is to wrap this tightly.If you are stingy with the plastic wrap, then water will get in when boiling, and dilute the flavor.If you don't twist the ends tightly enough, then the meat won't shape up nicely, and will fall apart instead of becoming circular when you cut it. The cheese may also come out. Recipe by Mameningen -
Homemade Ham Homemade Ham
A got the idea from a TV cooking show I saw a long time ago. I experimented with salting times and various herbs and spices.You can keep chicken or pork at the salt-preserved stage on Step 2. Both will last in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks depending on the season. The longer you keep it like that the more it will ripen and become delicious. After boiling the meat it will last for about a week. Ultra-healthy chicken breast meat is cheap and has no preservatives! You can use the ham in sandwiches of course, salads and many other things. While you can keep the meat at the salted stage for a while, during the warmer seasons it's probably safer to keep it only for up to a week. Recipe by Shokunoousama -
