Teriyaki Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for You
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Green onions, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Creating delicious Teriyaki Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add it to the skillet.
- Sear the Chicken: Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Prepare the Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, in a small saucepan, combine the reserved marinade with cornstarch and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Glaze the Chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, pour the thickened teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Serve: Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to further caramelize on the chicken. Remove from heat.
