Instructions

Step 1

Make the marinade by whisking the mayonnaise, soy sauce, brown sugar, and shichimi togarashi together in a bowl.

Step 2

2. Add the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Let this marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to overnight.

Step 3

3. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the chicken with the skin side down to fry the chicken. Let this fry until the chicken is cooked halfway through and the skin has browned.

Step 4

4. Flip the chicken over and continue cooking it until it's browned on the other side. Now turn the pieces around as needed until it is cooked through (you can cut one in half to check for doneness).

Step 5

5. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let cool completely before packing it into a bento box. You can garnish the chicken with an extra sprinkle of shichimi togarashi if you'd like.
