Japanese Grilled Chicken With Shio Koji

Japanese Grilled Chicken

Enjoy the savory and sweet sensation of shio koji. Just by marinating with shio koji for a few hours, you don’t have to add any other seasoning to the chicken. Before grilling, make sure to scrape the koji from the chicken’s surface. Koji sears very easily, so be careful with the heat to prevent too much charring.
