Chicken Teriyaki
Description
This recipe for Chicken Teriyaki starts by seasoning chicken thighs with salt and cooking them skin-side down in a hot skillet until the skin crisps and the meat cooks through. The teriyaki sauce is made separately by simmering mirin, soy sauce, and sugar until it thickens slightly. Once the chicken is cooked and rested, it is sliced and coated with the glossy sauce.
The resulting dish balances the savory, sweet flavors of teriyaki with the rich taste and crisp texture of skin-on thighs. The sesame seed garnish adds a nutty accent. Serving the chicken immediately with warm steamed rice allows enjoying the sauce fully, complementing the tender, flavorful chicken pieces.
Step-by-step cooking videos are available to guide through deboning, sauce preparation, and technique for best results. This attention to technique helps ensure the chicken is juicy and the sauce concentrated.

Ingredients
- 1 lb. (500g) chicken thighs deboned, skin-on
- salt
- white sesame seeds for garnishing, optional
Teriyaki Sauce:
- 1/3 cup mirin sweet rice wine, Japanese
- 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.
