Our family's teriyaki chicken is on the sweeter side with extra sauce. It's also delicious served over rice bowls!
Recipe background: I've been making teriyaki for a while, but I adjusted it to be sweeter with more sauce to suit my family's taste.

Steps

1

Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and poke the skin side all over with a fork to help the flavors soak in.
2

Combine all the ingredients marked with ☆ (soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar) in a sturdy zip-top bag and mix well. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3

Add oil to a skillet and place the marinated chicken skin-side down. Cook over medium to low heat. Once the skin is browned, flip the chicken, cover with a lid, and steam over low heat until cooked through.
4

Once the chicken is cooked, flip it again and pour the marinade from the bag into the skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning the chicken to coat, being careful not to let it burn.
5

Remove the chicken, slice it, and arrange on a plate. Pour the sauce from the skillet over the chicken before serving.
