Japanese Chicken Teriyaki
Savor the authentic taste of teriyaki from Japan, the birthplace of this savory delight. Japanese Chicken Teriyaki features the rich flavor of chicken with crispy skin, complemented by traditional Japanese teriyaki sauce.
Ingredients
- 0.66 lb. (300g) boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
Seasonings:
- 1 ½ Tbsp sake
- 1 Tbsp mirin
- ½ Tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp soy sauce
Accompaniments (optional):
- lettuce
- cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Poke the chicken's skin in several places with a fork. If the chicken meat is uneven in thickness, cut it open to even it out.
- Mix the seasonings (sake, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce) in a bowl.
- Heat oil in a pan. Sauté the chicken over medium heat, starting with the skin side down, until well-browned. Occasionally press the chicken with a spatula to ensure even browning.
- Flip the chicken over, cover the pan, and let it steam over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, remove the lid, and wipe off any excess oil from the chicken with paper towels. Then, add the seasoning liquid from the bowl and cook over medium heat again, turning the chicken occasionally, until just a little liquid remains.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and cut it into 0.8 inch (2cm) pieces.
- Serve the chicken on plates and drizzle with any sauce remaining in the pan. Accompany it with a side of lettuce and cherry tomatoes, as desired.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
