Teriyaki just isn't delicious unless it's nice and glossy! I tried making that kind of teriyaki. This dish goes great with rice and pairs well with beer. You can also make it with drumettes or bone-in chicken thighs, so give it a try! Recipe background: I made this because I was wondering what to do with some chicken wings that had been sitting in the fridge for a while.

Steps

1

Make a few slits in the meaty part of the chicken wings with a knife. Sprinkle the chicken with a little sake and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
2

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
3

Once the pan is hot, place the chicken wings skin side down in the pan.
4

Cover with a lid and cook through.
5

Brown the skin side, then flip the wings and cook the other side.
6

Meanwhile, make the teriyaki sauce by mixing all the ● ingredients together well.
7

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan.
8

Use a paper towel to blot excess oil from the chicken. (If you don't remove the oil, the sauce won't soak in as well.)
9

Wipe excess oil from the pan with a paper towel.
10

Return the chicken to the pan and heat again. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
11

Cover with a lid again and toss the chicken in the sauce until well coated.
12

When the sauce becomes glossy, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top and serve.
