On July 25, Ministop released "Primitive Meat-style Hammer Chicken with Bone" (240 yen). The motif is the "primitive meat" that appears in anime and manga, which everyone has (maybe) once thought "I want to eat once!".

The biggest point of hammer chicken is the double structure of chicken with bones wrapped in coarsely ground chicken. It's not just "boney" or "big".

What does meat x meat taste like? I bought it at a store in Tokyo.

It looks like a meatball skewer no matter how you look at it. There is some discomfort in the bone as a handle (?), But the round meat part is the Tsukune dumpling itself. It seems that he was particular about charcoal grilling, and there was a black kogation on the surface.

When I take the bone part, it's shorter than I expected and it's hard to hold ...! Due to the heavy weight of the meat, it is not well-balanced. I don't care so much.

By the way, the shape is not a spherical shape like a ball, but a hemispherical shape with one side flat. If you put the two together, it looks like a nice sphere.

Let's take a look at the essential contents. It gets dirty when it gets stuck, so I cut it in half with a kitchen knife. Looking at the cross section, it really had a double structure! No, I wasn't skeptical.

Certainly, minced meat is wrapped around chicken that looks like thigh meat. Moreover, the oil is flowing out from the thigh meat, which conveys the juiciness.

What a meaty thing to do when you bite ...! After the texture of minced meat, the juiciness of thigh meat follows. A mysterious texture that you can't taste with just meatballs or thigh meat . It seems that the minced meat contains chicken skin, and it certainly feels juicy even though it is sticky. The seasoning is not so spicy and it is moderately spicy. If you like spices, adding a little Japanese pepper may be delicious.

If you just want to eat, I recommend fried chicken with bones. Although the thigh meat inside is juicy, it is not as juicy as that oily. Hammer chicken has a new two-layer structure of meat and meat, and is fresh. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy it as an unusual fried chicken?

Nationwide sales will start on August 1st. Due to the limited quantity, it will end as soon as it runs out.
