Family Recipe: Perfect Teriyaki Chicken
After trying many versions, I can confidently say this is the perfect ratio for delicious teriyaki chicken. Passed down from my grandmother to my mother, and now to me.
The story of this recipe
I've loved our family's teriyaki chicken since I was little. Even after trying many recipes, the one from home is the best. When I asked about the proportions, I was told, 'The ratio is 3:2:1 for sake, soy sauce and mirin, and sugar.'
Since then, I've faithfully made it using this '3:2:1' golden ratio.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Remove the yellow fat from the chicken and cut through the white tendons with a knife. To prevent shrinkage, poke the skin with a fork.
- 2
Place the chicken skin-side down in a frying pan (do not add oil). Cook over medium heat for about 6 minutes, absorbing the fat with a paper towel as it renders.
- 3
Once the skin is golden brown and crispy, flip the chicken and cook for another 6 minutes. Absorb the fat, then add the sauce ingredients.
- 4
Occasionally shake the pan and simmer until the sauce thickens and almost no liquid remains.
- 5
Once cooled slightly, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and serve on a plate with your choice of side dishes.

Standard Teriyaki Chicken Standard Teriyaki Chicken
This was made using the chicken thighs I had stored in the freezer. If you use sugar you'll have even softer meat, but I make it with just mirin to keep it from getting too sweet.After steaming the chicken with the lid, by cooking it over high heat with the sauce, you get it softened and glazed perfectly. If you're making this for a lunch box, marinade in the sauce the night before (reduce the amount of soy sauce in this case). Recipe by meg115 -
