Ingredients
6 bone-in chicken thighs
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons sake
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon ginger grated
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
3 green onions sliced
Instructions
1. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.
2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, sake, garlic, and ginger to create the sauce.
3. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water to form a slurry.
4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and place chicken skin-side down. Cook for 6–8 minutes until crispy.
5. Flip the chicken and cook another 6–8 minutes until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).
6. Remove excess fat from the pan carefully.
7. Pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet and let it simmer.
8. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens.
9. Spoon the sauce over the chicken repeatedly to glaze and caramelize.
10. Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve over rice.
Notes
Pat the chicken dry thoroughly before cooking for crispy skin.
Maintain medium heat to avoid burning the sugary sauce.
Allow the chicken to rest before serving to keep it juicy.
