Torihamu (鶏ハム) or Homemade Chicken "Ham"

2 July 2012 - Torihamu

I used the oven method, the ham is tasty with black pepper. The other herbs give good flavor and fragrant ^^


The recipe is from Just Bento (haven't I say that I love the site)
 
Torihamu or Homemade Chicken "Ham"

250g boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 Tbsp honey, or use sugar instead 
1 1/2 tsp salt, sea salt preferred 
1/2 tsp or taste coarsely ground black pepper

Marinate the chicken with the seasoning for 48 hours. Wash off surface salt from the chicken and soak to de-salinate. Poach or bake the chicken.
