Mochiko Chicken

In Hawaii, if there’s one thing we love its pot lucks. Pot lucks are when a group of people get together and everyone brings a dish to share. One of my all-time favorite contributions is Mochiko Chicken. It is sort of like a Japanese sweet fried chicken. It’s easy to make and always the hit of any party.
