Ingredients
- 2 skin-on boneless chicken thighs
- Salt and black pepper to season
- Plain flour
- Sesame seeds for garnish
TO PAIR
- Cooked rice
- Shredded egg
- Chopped spring onion
TERIYAKI SAUCE
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp mirin
- 3 tbsp sake or cooking wine
- 2 tbsp honey or sugar
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper for 15-30 minutes.
- Lightly dust the skin side of the chicken with flour, shaking off any excess.
- Mix the soy sauce, mirin, and sake to prepare the basic teriyaki sauce. (You can add sugar, garlic, or ginger to create your own flavour.)
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and place the chicken thighs skin-side down.
- Cook until the skin becomes brown and crispy, then flip the chicken over and continue frying until nearly cooked through. Use kitchen paper to wipe off excess oil from the pan.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce into the pan and add honey. Spoon the sauce over the chicken to coat thoroughly while cooking.
- Cook until the liquid reduces and thickens.
- Slice the teriyaki chicken and serve over rice. Plate with shredded egg and chopped spring onion, or any side dish you prefer. Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!
