Ichinao is a delicious chicken dish that originated in Japan. While there are many variations of this recipe depending on the region and the chef, this version offers a simple and easy way for you to enjoy the flavors of Ichinao in your own home. The chicken is marinated in a soy sauce and peanut oil mixture before being baked to perfection. The use of sake and mirin in the sauce gives the dish a sweet and tangy taste, while the gingerroot adds a hint of spiciness. Served with rice or noodles, this dish is perfect for lunch or dinner on a busy day.

2.	In a small bowl, combine the 4 teaspoons of soy sauce and 4 teaspoons of peanut oil.

7.	Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown.
