Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 lb Chicken Thighs boneless, skinless
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/2 cup Soy Sauce dark soy sauce preferred
- 1/2 cup Mirin
- 1/4 cup Sugar granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp Corn Flour
- 2 tbsp Water for cornstarch slurry
Other
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 tsp Sesame Seeds for garnish, optional
- 1 tsp Pepper black, ground, to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season generously with ground black pepper.
Make the Teriyaki Sauce
- In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
Thicken the Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.
Cook the Chicken
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine and Serve
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken and toss to coat evenly. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional). Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Chicken Teriyaki
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a small amount of the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken; work in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. For a less sweet teriyaki sauce, reduce the sugar by 1-2 tablespoons.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the amount of cornstarch in the slurry.
