Chicken Teriyaki

Another delicious cuisine from Japan is Chicken Teriyaki. This menu is quite popular and easy to cook. FYI, teriyaki is a cooking technique : teri means luster and yaki means cooking/grilling.
Enough for introduction, now let's start making this menu !!!

Chicken Teriyaki

Ingredients :

• 1 lb boneless chicken thigh/breast

Teriyaki Sauce

• 2 tbps soy sauce
• 2 tbps water
• 1 tbps mirin
• 1 tbps sugar
• 1/4 onion, grated, including juice
• 1 inch ginger, grated, including juice

Instructions :

1. Rinse chicken in running water and cut into smaller pieces. Then prick the chicken (not the skin side) with a fork.
2. Combine Teriyaki Sauce ingredients in a bowl.
3. Add chicken and marinate for 2-3 hours.
4. Heat oil on medium high in a large skillet. When it’s hot, place the chicken pieces from skin side. The marinade will burn easily so try not to add any liquid in the pan. Do not throw away the marinade. 
5. When skin side is nicely browned, flip the chicken (now skin side is up).
6. Then remove the chicken to a plate and clean the skillet.  
7. Heat a little bit of oil and put the chicken back to the skillet, skin side down first to make the skin crispy.
8. Then flip again (now skin side is up) and pour the Teriyaki Sauce. Cook until the sauce is reduced a bit. Use spoon to pour on top of chicken a couple of times while you are cooking. 
9. Serve the chicken and pour sauce on top.
10. Enjoy !!

Another simple dish yet delicious for everyday life. Hope you will like it.^^
