Steps

1

Poke the skin side of the chicken thighs all over with a fork to help the flavors soak in.
2

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down in a cold skillet (no oil needed) and cook over medium heat.
3

As the fat renders out, use a paper towel to blot and remove the excess fat from the pan.
4

Once the skin is golden and crispy, flip the chicken over. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for about 5 minutes, until cooked through.
5

When the chicken is fully cooked (the juices run clear when pierced), add all the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar) to the pan.
6

Swirl the pan to coat the chicken evenly and simmer until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.
7

Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and serve on a plate with lettuce and cherry tomatoes.
