Fragrant Chicken with Salted Lemons and Tasty Ponzu

While dieting, it's hard to get full on oil-free dishes...but adding different flavours and aromas with my homemade salted lemons and ponzu made this dish very satisfying! Strong flavors are very handy when you're on a diet.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Remove the excess fat from the chicken. You can use chicken thighs as is. If you use chicken breasts, cut them in half horizontally to make 2 pieces or else they will be too thick.

Coat the chicken in shio-koji.
