This is a Hawaiian recipe I got from a Hawaiian community church cook book a friend loaned me. It has no SPAM or pineapple LOL. I was not sure how it would turn out the first time but it is worth the time. Once the prep is done you let it set in a zip lock bag over night of for a day or two. So with most of the dirty work done in advance all you need to do is make rice and fry up the chicken pieces. It is a easy week night recipe. Mochiko flour is rice flour and can be found in most grocery stores that have an Asian section.
