This teriyaki chicken has a slightly sweet taste, but thanks to the vinegar, the chicken becomes very tender and refreshing. It's also delicious used for sandwiches!

It's helpful to remember the seasoning ratio, 5:5:3 (soy sauce: vinegar: sugar)!
I find it troublesome to weigh the sugar, so I use the measuring cup instead. I measure soy sauce+ vinegar = 100 ml, then I add sugar until the mixture hits 130 ml. Recipe by Muukun

Steps

1

Measure out 50 ml each of soy sauce and vinegar, and add in the sugar. In the photo, I added 40 g of sugar.
2

Check to see if the butterflied chicken thigh will perfectly fit into the saucepan. Pour the seasoning into the saucepan, put the chicken thigh with the skin-side down, and heat the pan over high heat. Once it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low immediately, and simmer for about 10 minutes without touching it. *Do not cover with a lid.
3

It will look like this after 10 minutes. Flip over the chicken.
4

Simmer for another 10 minutes.
5

It will bubble like this after 10 minutes.
6

Flip over the chicken once more with the skin-side down and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, being careful not to let it burn, and it's done!
7

Take out the chicken from the pan, let it cool down a little, and then cut. It's so juicy.
8

Top with shredded white leek for an appetizer!!
