Ingredients
- 1 lb. (500g) chicken thighs deboned, skin-on
- salt
- white sesame seeds for garnishing, optional
Teriyaki Sauce:
- 1/3 cup Japanese mirin sweet rice wine
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium preferred
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Lightly season both sides of the chicken thighs with a pinch of salt. Combine all the ingredients for the Teriyaki Sauce in a saucepan. Simmer on low heat until it thickens to a desired consistency, about 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, heat a non-stick skillet over high heat. Pan-fry the chicken thighs, starting with the skin-side down, until both sides are nicely browned and cooked through, achieving a crackly, crispy texture on the skin. Turn off the heat, transfer the chicken to a plate, and let it cool.
- Slice the chicken thighs into pieces and drizzle the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with warm steamed rice.
