Teriyaki chicken is a classic Japanese dish that is loved by many for its sweet and savory flavors. The key to a delicious teriyaki chicken lies in the sauce, which is made from a combination of soy sauce, sugar, and other seasonings. This recipe will guide you on how to make a mouthwatering teriyaki chicken dish that is perfect for a family meal or dinner party.
Ingredients:
– 500 grams boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
– 1/4 cup sake (Japanese rice wine)
– 3 tablespoons brown sugar
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Place the chicken pieces in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure all the chicken pieces are coated with the marinade. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
