Chicken Teriyaki Recipe:
1/4 cup (60ml) Japanese soy sauce
1/4 cup (60ml) Mirin
1/4 cup (60ml) sake
1 tbsp white sugar

This one simple technique changed the way I make chicken teriyak forever. For starters, the sauce is stupidly easy. It’s just mirin saki, Japanese soy sauce, and white sugar. That’s literally it. The trick is to buy chicken thighs that have the bone in and the skin on, and then take out that bone yourself, which is incredibly easy. Now, take all those reserved bones and toss them in a little bit of oil and roast them in a 400°ree oven until they’re nice and golden brown. And then delaze that entire thing with soy sauce. Then return the soy sauce and the bones to a little pot and simmer it for about 10 minutes before straining it off. Now, in the beginning, instead of using regular soy sauce, use this chickenbased soy sauce instead, and oh my god, the flavor has turned up to 10. Moving on to our now deboned chicken thighs. I just hit them with a little bit of salt and pepper and cook them about 90% of the way through on the skin side. Let your chicken rest, then add garlic and ginger to the pan. Sauté for a couple minutes. Then add your teriyak sauce, followed by some sesame seeds and a little cornstarch slurry if you need to thicken it

  1. Passing the chicken through corn starch will save you the step of making the corn starch slurry

  2. Could've used chicken bouillon add it to the sauce mixture instead of using gas on the oven. A bit simple than putting the chicken bones and skin in the oven.

  3. Leave out the garlic and ginger, use green onion and mushroom powder instead. The garlic and ginger detract from the dish.

  4. THANK YOU for actually posting a genuine teriyaki sauce recipe! Considering how many teriyaki videos there are on YouTube, it is close to impossible to find one that is genuine. Also, thanks for mentioning to use JAPANESE soy sauce. I don't think I've seen that mentioned in any other video. Most think that soy sauce is soy sauce, and that is just so incorrect!

  5. I love the recipes and the ideas but instead of doing all that work with the chicken bones and deglazing the pan Blah blah blah, couldn't you just put the chicken broth in it and reduce on the stove? Maybe a drop of liquid smoke to give it that hint of roasting? Don't throw the bones away though. Make soup. Never waste food.
