Tips & Notes

  1. Alternatively you can use fresh garlic purée instead of garlic powder.
  2. If Kewpie Mayo is unavailable, you may substitute with regular mayonnaise of your choice.
  3. Japanese Kewpie Mayo can be found at most major grocery stores or online. This Japanese Kewpie Mayo is different than regular mayonnaise as they are made with just egg yolks, no sugar & salt and contains apple/rice vinegar.
  4. Please double or triple up the ingredients for big serving. The above serving I made for 2-3.
  5. You can cook chicken breast over the stove, bbq grill, etc.
  6. If cooking via an air fryer, please adjust the temperature accordingly. I didn’t preheat my air fryer.
