It is then hand-breaded, fried and served with a choice of Hanabi Hot Mayo or Sweet and Spicy sauce.

Tokyo Fried Chicken is now available at all of Yoshinoya’s restaurants and customers can order it as a protein in a bowl or as a snack-size portion.

Yoshinoya America CEO Jon Gilliam said: “We are thrilled to be infusing more of our Japanese heritage into our menu with the introduction of Tokyo Fried Chicken.

“This type of unique recipe is usually only found at formal sit-down Japanese restaurants as an appetiser. Our portions are generous as each piece is significantly larger than a traditional chicken nugget and it makes for a great on-the-go snack or meal option.”
