Teriyaki Chicken

Method

Teriyaki Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Cold Water Lobster Tail

  1. 5

    Prepare the Lobster

    Using kitchen scissors, cut the top of the lobster shell lengthwise down the center to expose the meat. Gently pull the meat out and lay it on top of the shell.

  2. 6

    Make the Butter Mixture

    In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 7

    Coat the Lobster

    Brush the butter mixture generously over the lobster meat. Reserve some for basting during cooking.

  4. 8

    Cook the Lobster

    Preheat the grill or broiler. Place the lobster tails on the grill or broiler for about 8-10 minutes, basting with the butter mixture halfway through, until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

  5. 9

    Serve

    Serve the lobster tails alongside the teriyaki chicken, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
