Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix well to create the teriyaki marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    While the chicken is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, allowing it to thicken for about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
