randomly going to translate a recipe from the Japanese recipe website, cookpad, for チキン南蛮 (Chicken Nanban) because i just saw the MechaIke episode where Garita and Tanita prepared it in the carpark.
it's fried chicken with tartar sauce. i ordered it a few times before because it's usually one of the cheaper items in a restaurant. haha
