When I was living in Miyazaki for University, there were a number of delicious chicken nanban restaurants around. Through a lot of trial and error in trying to replicate that flavor at home, I finally settled on this recipe.

Adjust the amount of vinegar in the marinade to your tastes. My family likes it sour, so we use even more than 100 ml.
If you don't have any honey, sugar is OK too. Recipe by Ayako
