Ingredients

3 servings

1 lb . chicken thighs (deboned, skin-on)
salt
white sesame seeds (for garnishing, optional)
1/3 cup Japanese mirin (sweet rice wine)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps

Lightly season both sides of the chicken thighs with a pinch of salt. Combine all the ingredients for the Teriyaki Sauce in a saucepan. Simmer on low heat until it thickens to a desired consistency, about 10 minutes.
In the meantime, heat a non-stick skillet over high heat. Pan-fry the chicken thighs, starting with the skin-side down, until both sides are nicely browned and cooked through, achieving a crackly, crispy texture on the skin. Turn off the heat, transfer the chicken to a plate, and let it cool.
Slice the chicken thighs into pieces and drizzle the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with warm steamed rice.
