Estimated Time:

  • Cooking: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes

Number of Servings:

  • Serves 4 people

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 1/4 cup sake (or additional mirin if unavailable)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cornstarch (for coating)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 1/4 cup sake
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.

  3. Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the cornstarch slurry and continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. Coat the Chicken: After marinating, remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Dredge each piece in cornstarch, ensuring an even coat. Shake off any excess.

  5. Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in your Bazova ceramic-coated non-stick pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1 inch deep, and the temperature should reach 350°F (175°C).

  6. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each piece for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  7. Toss in Teriyaki Sauce: Once all the chicken is fried, place it in a large bowl. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.

  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Teriyaki Fried Chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Pair it with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
