Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook. You don't need to add oil, as the chicken will release its own fat.
- 2
Once the skin is golden brown, flip the chicken and cook the other side until golden as well. Use a paper towel to blot any excess oil.
- 3
When both sides are nicely browned, cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Steam-cook for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- 4
Meanwhile, mix together all the ingredients marked with ☆ (soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, ginger, garlic). You can also use this time to prep cabbage or make miso soup if you like.
- 5
Pour the mixed sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Increase the heat to medium and simmer to reduce the sauce.
- 6
Spoon the sauce over the chicken as it cooks. When the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, it's ready.
- 7
Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces, plate it, and pour the remaining sauce over the top before serving.

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 cookpad.japan -

It's tough to make the perfect teriyaki chicken. Sometimes the meat doesn't cook through properly, the sauce isn't glossy enough, or the flavoring ends up a little too subtle. It took some time and practice, but I finally got all these little mishaps out of the way with this recipe!Make sure you wipe off any excess oil as you sauté the chicken until it's golden brown.
