Delicious Chicken Nanban from Miyazaki

My mother made this a lot for me when I was a kid She's from Miyazaki and taught me well.
My Husband doesn't really like vinegar so the marinade I make is ever so slightly sweeter than my Mother's.

Chicken tends to dry out so to prevent this, first butterfly the chicken, cover in cling film and tenderize with a rolling pin until flat. Marinate in a tablespoon each of cooking sake and vinegar and when cut, it should be nice and moist.
For thigh meat, prick it all over with a fork and cut off any stringy bits before use. Recipe by Nyankochansan

  13. 1 tsp◇Milk
  14. 1 dash◇Salt and pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the meat (refer to the hints section for how to do this). I tend to use breast meat most.

  2. 2

    Coat the chicken in a layer of flour and then dip it into the beaten egg. Fry the chicken in oil (or shallow-fry). Drain off the oil and cut into bite-size pieces.

  3. 3

    Tartar Sauce: Finely chop the onion and soft-boiled egg and place in a tupperware container with the ingredients marked with ◇. Stir well.

  4. 4

    Nanban Marinade: Add all of the ingredients marked with ◎ to a small saucepan and warm on high heat. When it starts to boil, add the chicken pieces and leave to marinate.

  5. 5

    Once marinated, arrange the chicken on a plate, pour over the rest of the marinade, and top with the tartar sauce and a sprinkling of parsley to give a stylish finish.

  6. 6

    Or try making a rice bowl by sitting the chicken on a bed of warm rice and lettuce or shredded cabbage, and covering with tartar sauce.

  7. 7

    Lately I've been frying the chicken in a generous amount of oil for Step 2 If you deep-fry it, it will taste like restaurant Chicken Nanban, but if you shallow-fry it, it will taste homemade Feel free to fry how you like.
