Instructions
For the Chicken
- Season chicken thighs on all sides with salt.
- Heat up a deeper pan with oil. Keep over high heat, the oil needs to be super hot but it shouldn't smoke.
- Place Chicken into hot pan and cook chicken on both sides until it gets some color, for about 2 minutes each side.
- Take chicken out of the pan and place into a tray and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. The chicken needs to be cleared of oil. Wash pan, it has to be clean for the next steps ahead.
For the Teriyaki Sauce
- Heat up clean deep pan. Pour sake or vodka into the pan. Add the sweet soy sauce and the brown sugar.
- Place chicken into the hot teriyaki sauce.
- Cook over high heat covered for a minute each side. Cook on both sides 2 times. The chicken will take in the teriyaki glaze, and the sauce will reduce and get sticky.
- Take from the pan and slice into strips.
- Arrange in serving plate/bowl and pour remaining teriyaki sauce from the pan over the chicken.
- Serve hot with garnish.
Equipments used:
Notes
- Chicken thighs are preferred because they are more flavorful than breasts. But you can use breasts, wings or drumsticks too.
- Use vegetable or canola oil.
- You can use our homemade teriyaki sauce too instead of the teriyaki sauce ingredients in this recipe.
- Sake is a Japanese clear liquor. If you can't get it (which is ok too), use vodka.
- Sweet soy sauce is a variety of soy sauce. You can make it from scratch by mixing together 1 ½ Tbs soy sauce with ½ Tbs brown sugar or sugar cane. Homemade sweet soy sauce is preferred because the sugar and soy sauce had time to mix up. OR buy the Japanese one (not Indonesian sweet soy sauce). OR use 1 ½ Tbs regular Kikkoman soy sauce and use a total of about 1 Tbs brown sugar in the recipe.
- You can use regular sugar or honey too if you don't have brown sugar. Skip the quantity of sugar in the recipe if you are using regular Kikkoman soy sauce + 1 Tbs sugar (see step 4).
