Step 2: Make the rolled chicken “chasu”
Rolled chicken thigh “chasu”
- chicken thighs, deboned2
- salt
Salt the chicken thighs and let them dry in the fridge for at least one hour.
Preheat the oven to 275°F/133°C. Pull the chicken out and roll each thigh up into a tight log as best you can. Secure with 3 or 4 pieces of butcher's twine. Set the chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet and place in the oven.
Gently until the interior reaches 165°F/73°C. Wrap the chicken in plastic wrap and hold in the fridge until ready to use, where you can unwrap and slice into “chasu” like pieces for topping the ramen.
