Simple Teriyaki Chicken Recipe

Make It Yourself - Simple Teriyaki Chicken Recipe

It is so easy to make teriyaki chicken that I wonder what would be the need to buy this dish at restaurants anymore! Usually, Japanese restaurants will use two types of rice wine (mirin and sake) in making the teriyaki sauce.

However, if you prefer not to have wine in your teriyaki sauce - then you can simply omit this from the recipe, as I did.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons soya sauce
2 tablespoons honey
500g skinless chicken thigh meat
3 tablespoons plain flour
1 tablespoon oil

Method

1) Mix the soya sauce and honey in a small bowl. Set aside.

2) Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Lightly dust in flour, shake off the excess.

3) Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add oil. When it is hot, add flour-dusted chicken pieces. Do not crowd the pan. When the bottom is golden brown, flip to the other side, cook for one minute. Remove to plate and continue cooking the rest of the chicken in batches.

4) Return all the cooked chicken to pan, pour in soya sauce mixture and let it bubble in the pan. Turn the chicken pieces to coat in the sauce. When the sauce has turned to a sticky glaze, turn off the heat.

Serves four.
