Chicken Teriyaki

A quick and straightforward chicken dish thighs with tender golden brown skin.

I am back within the room and I'm beginning the twelvemonth off with a fast, easy, lightweight and attractive meal, chicken teriyaki. Dish may be a Japanese type of cookery wherever meat is grilled and served with a sweet and salty sauce that historically consists of condiment, sugar, mirin and sake.

The essential sauce is super simple to create and really expert however you'll be able to in fact play with it and a few additions that I relish ar garlic and ginger. You'll be able to additionally amendment the sweetener employing a range of various choices as well as commutation some or all of the plain white sugar with cane sugar, sugar, honey, sirup, etc. 

The sake is nonobligatory and that i usually prefer to replace it with a potable like fruit crush and adding chunks of pineapple to the dish is additionally nice! Once you've got selected the sauce ingredients this chicken dish is as simple to create as cookery the chicken and preparation the sauce till it reduces and thickens. 

I like to travel with chicken thighs as they're moister and have a lot of flavour, removing the bones for easier cookery and consumption, and that I leave the skin on because it gets all nice and golden brown, tender and good! you may in fact use boned and skinless chicken breasts for a lighter version. The chicken dish takes less time to create than it takes to cook the rice that I favor to serve it over thus I actually have lots of time to steam a vegetable to travel with it!
