Teriyaki Chicken
Description
This Teriyaki Chicken recipe begins with marinating chicken pieces briefly in teriyaki sauce, then tossing them in a seasoned flour mixture to create a light crust when fried. Cooking the chicken in batches prevents overcrowding, allowing a golden brown sear for a lightly crispy texture. Deglazing the pan with orange juice lifts caramelized bits, creating a flavorful base for the sauce.
Returning the chicken to the pan with the remaining teriyaki sauce heats and thickens the glaze, coating the chicken pieces evenly. The sauce combines the sweetness of the teriyaki with a hint of citrus from the orange juice, balancing the flavor profile. Topping the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds adds color and a mild crunch.
Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between crispy chicken and glossy sauce. This dish pairs well with rice or steamed vegetables to complete the meal.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup teriyaki sauce divided
- 3 chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces, boneless, skinless
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup orange juice
- green onion and sesame seeds, optional garnish, sliced
Instructions
- Add ¼ cup teriyaki sauce and the chicken to a bowl. Toss to coat.
- Whisk together the flour, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the chicken with the flour mixture and toss to coat.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
- Add the chicken to the pan in batches being sure not to crowd the pan. Cook the chicken until golden brown and crispy on all sides, approximately 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a platter and repeat with remaining chicken.
- Once all the chicken is cooked, add the orange juice to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release the brown bits.
- Return the chicken to the pan and add the remaining teriyaki sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil and then remove from the heat.
- Top the chicken with the green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
