Teriyaki Chicken 照り焼きチキン
Teriyaki Chicken uses a single chicken thigh scored and cooked skin-side down to develop crispness without oil, then coated with teriyaki sauce reduced in the pan. This method produces tender, flavorful chicken with a caramelized glaze, highlighting the balance of sweet and salty notes from the sauce on juicy poultry.

Ingredients
- 1 chicken thigh the thigh just has more flavour 500g
- 50 ml teriyaki sauce
Instructions
- Score the chicken thigh meat and open up to make the meat thickness even.
- Poke the chicken thigh skin with a fork in order to allow the sauce to go through easily.
- Heat a large frying pan on high heat (you do not need oil)
- Once the pan has heated, place the chicken meat on the pan with the skin side down
- Brown the side and make the skin crisp for about 5 minutes. Remove any oil produced from the skin as much as possible.
- When the skin is crisped, turn the meat over and cook the other side.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken meat. Keep pouring sauce over the chicken meat with a spoon until the teriyaki sauce has reduced a little bit.
- When the sauce starts to make bigger bubbles around the chicken and the sauce has thickened, turn the heat off and remove the pan from the heat.
- Slice the chicken thigh about 2 cm thick to serve with your choice of vegetables.

Notes
- Chicken breast can be used as a substitute, but adding oil to the pan may be necessary to prevent sticking.
- Homemade teriyaki sauce can be used for better control of flavor and freshness.
