Directions
Torihamu or Homemade Chicken ham , An interesting recipe from Japan, this is nice for sandwiches It’s fun to vary the seasoning You may like Caribbean Jerk, for instance, or Chinese Five-Spice Powder A bit of liquid smoke? You can also vary the sweetener used Be creative! (Note: I found it necessary to cook the chicken longer than the recipe states It should reach 165 degrees F in the middle , This was an interesting dish to make We used a mesquite BBQ seasoning and the poaching method It sliced up nicely, reminded us of the way chicken comes when you get it in the deli
