Teriyaki Chicken
Description
This Teriyaki Chicken recipe combines chicken thighs marinated in a blend of sake or white wine, sugar, mirin, soy sauce, and optional fresh ginger and garlic. The marination allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, tenderizing and seasoning it. After marinating for at least 30 minutes or preferably several hours, the chicken is cooked in a skillet over medium heat until browned on both sides.
Once the chicken is removed, the marinade is brought to a rolling boil and simmered until thickened, creating a sticky teriyaki sauce. The chicken is then returned to the pan and coated thoroughly with the glaze. This finish provides a balanced combination of umami, sweetness, and a slight tang from the mirin and sake. The chicken remains moist from the marinade and pan-searing.
Teriyaki Chicken can be served over rice or alongside vegetables, making a simple yet flavorful main dish for a casual meal.
