This is a very popular dish of Chicken in Japan where I grew up. Nori sheets that you bought to make Sushi Rolls might be sitting in your pantry. They can be used for a variety of dishes. This is one of them. Chicken Tenderloins are popularly used for this dish, but Breast Fillets are also suitable.

1

Cut each Chicken Tenderloin in half. Combine all the Marinade ingredients in a bowl add the Chicken pieces, mix to combine, and set aside for 15 to 30 minutes.

Heat a generous amount of Oil in a frying pan, and fry the Chicken pieces until crispy and cooked through. You can deep-fry them if you prefer.
