Authentic Japanese Cooking: Marinating Part 2 - Chicken Namban (Fried Chicken Marinated in Sweet Vinegar)

Today's theme is "Marinating Part 2". We are making "Chicken Namban", Fried Chicken Marinated in Sweet Vinegar. Fried chicken pieces quickly become pickled in a sweet and sour marinade. They are eaten with tartar sauce. It's a type of Western-influenced, Japanese chicken dish. For one variation, the fried chicken will become an open-faced sandwich.
