Overview
Daniel tests a packaged Family Mart chicken-in-a-pot product costing ¥248 tax included (¥230 listed) and weighing 85 grams, which requires refrigeration under 10 degrees Celsius and carries allergy warnings for wheat, milk, and eggs.
Microwaving the product releases a pungent aroma of chilies and chicken and yields seven soggy pieces with plain chicken inside and manageable spice, reminiscent of reheated leftover fried chicken.
Reheating pieces in a toaster oven fails to produce crispiness and reveals one piece composed purely of batter; Daniel determines it is passable as a snack or cold picnic food, but inferior in price and crispiness compared to freshly fried convenience store chicken.
