Thanks Christy, you are indeed lucky to have such a great husband who can cook. Mine does too, but he dirties a lot of dishes and the kitchen as well and I have to clean up! The chicken came out well, I would rate it as 5*, the only thing is I avoid aji-no-moto as it brings on a migraine headache.

Coolcook!.Mu husband is a distant-relative of mine and he was allowed to meet me after I got engaged to him only.He's an expert cook and prefers food-if done by me or by my M-I-L (mostly I used to cook even when I had a servant).
