I made this one night for dinner and had some leftovers. I froze them and then reheated them the next day and they were delicious. I decided to make a version for bento!

If you are worried about the smell from the scallions when putting in a bento, you can just mix in the green onions in Step 4 before freezing. Recipe by Hokkori-no

Steps

1

Cut the thigh into bite-sized pieces and put in a bowl. Add in the sake, sugar, salt and pepper and rub them in.
2

Put all of the Youlinjii sauce ingredients into a heatproof bowl and microwave for 40 seconds at 600 W. Then stir.
3

Add the katakuriko to the bowl from Step 1 and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Next, deep fry in some preheated oil.
4

Pour the Youlinji sauce that you made in Step 2 on top of the fried chicken until it's evenly coated.
5

Place 4 pieces on top of some plastic wrap and pour a little sauce on top.
6

Wrap it up, and place it in the freezer.
7

When you're using it in a bento, microwave it with the plastic on to reheat. Place some scallions on top.
8

Due to the katakuriko in the Youlinji coating, when you heat it up in the microwave, the chicken will turn out slightly sticky.
