What is Chicken Nanban?

Chicken Nanban is a chicken dish that was born in the 1950s in Miyazaki prefecture.
The characteristics of Chicken Nanban are the “Nanbanzu” and tartar sauce.
Nanbanzu is made of Soy sauce, Sugar, and vinegar and the sweet and sour taste fits the chicken.
Also, the tartar sauce is amazingly delicious.
If you never tried Chicken Nanban before, I really want to recommend this for today’s dinner!

Usually, you need to dip the chicken in flour, and egg and then fry it in a lot of oil.
But I don’t want to consume too much oil, and I just cook chicken with some oil in a frying pan.
And I also don’t use eggs to cover the chicken. I only use flour for that.
Because using two eggs for tartar sauce is enough.

So my Chicken Nanban recipe is an easier version. But don’t worry. The taste is so good.
