Steps

1

Open up the chicken thighs, trim excess fat and tendons, and poke holes on both sides with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, then coat with potato starch (or cornstarch). Lightly crush the garlic cloves.
2

Add oil and garlic to a skillet, then add the chicken.
3

Pour in the sake, cover with a lid, and steam-cook over low heat.
4

In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sake.
5

Flip the chicken over. To prevent the garlic from burning, place it on top of the chicken.
6

Flip the chicken again, increase the heat slightly, then add the sauce mixture. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
7

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and serve on a plate.
8

Slice the chicken and use it as a pizza topping—it's delicious!
