Ingredients
- 4-6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 1/4 cup sake (Japanese rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
Optional:
- Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, honey, minced ginger, and minced garlic to make the teriyaki sauce.
- Place the whole boneless chicken thighs in the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour, or longer if desired.
- Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium to medium-high heat. If desired, you can lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and place them in the hot skillet. Cook for about 9-10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice browned appearance. You can also brush the chicken with the teriyaki sauce as it cooks to create a glaze.
- Once the chicken is cooked, pour the remaining teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens and coats the chicken.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve the whole boneless chicken teriyaki over steamed rice or with your choice of sides. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
