Begin by rinsing 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water in a fine mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Set a medium-sized pot on the stove and combine the rinsed rice with 2 ½ cups of water.

Bring the mixture in the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Allow the sushi rice to simmer for about 20 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed.

Prepare the seasoning mixture in a small bowl by stirring together 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar until it dissolves. Fold this mixture into the rice once cooked.

In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of shredded cooked chicken with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

Moisten your hands with water, scoop a handful of seasoned rice into your palm, flatten it slightly, and add a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center.

Mold the rice around the chicken filling, shaping it into a ball or triangle.

If desired, wrap each onigiri with strips of nori for added flavor and a traditional touch.

Your Chicken Onigiri is now ready! Serve on a platter and enjoy as a tasty snack or meal.
