Family Recipe: Perfect Teriyaki Chicken with Golden Ratio Sauce
After trying many versions, I can confidently say this is the perfect golden ratio for delicious teriyaki chicken. This recipe has been passed down from my grandmother to my mother, and then to me.
Recipe background:
I've loved our family's teriyaki chicken since I was a child. Even after trying other recipes, my family's version was always the best. When I asked about the sauce, I learned the secret: sake:soy sauce and mirin:sugar in a 3:2:1 ratio.
Since then, I've always made it faithfully using this '3:2:1' golden ratio.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Trim excess yellow fat from the chicken and cut through any white tendons. To prevent the skin from shrinking, poke the skin side all over with a fork.
- 2
Place the chicken skin-side down in a skillet (do not add oil). Cook over medium heat for about 6 minutes, blotting up any rendered fat with a paper towel as it cooks.
- 3
When the skin is golden and crispy, flip the chicken and cook for another 6 minutes. Blot up any excess fat, then add the sauce ingredients to the pan.
- 4
Gently shake the pan occasionally and simmer until the sauce thickens and almost all the liquid is gone, coating the chicken.
- 5
Let the chicken cool slightly, then cut into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a plate. Add your choice of sides.
