This is a Japanese style authentic chicken teriyaki recipe.

Tori no teriyaki（鶏の照り焼き）

What the kind of dish is tori no teriyaki ??

After grilling the chicken thighs, I seasoned them with soy sauce and mirin.

“Teriyaki” is a typical cooking method in Japanese cuisine. It goes well with both fish and meat, so it’s versatile and requires only seasonings that are common at home.

For the teriyaki sauce recipe, we recommend a ratio of soy sauce: sake: mirin: sugar = 2:2:2:1.

For more information on soy sauce, mirin, and sake, see this article.　👉　About Soy sauce ＆ mirin & sake

When soy sauce, sugar, and mirin are heated together, the amino acids and sugar content undergo an aminocarbonyl reaction, creating an appetizing aroma and beautiful shine. The color and aroma of kabayaki, yakitori, teriyaki, etc. are due to this effect.

Authentic chicken teriyaki recipe COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

①Trim off excess fat from chicken thighs. Make about 10 holes with a folk. If you make a hole in it, it will not shrink easily even if you bake it.

②Make a cut in the thick part of the chicken and open it up to even thickness. The heat is distributed evenly, making it soft and juicy.

③Lightly coat the surface of the meat with wheat flour.

I recommended to use “cooking flour”, because it is non-sticky.

④Mix soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar to make the sauce.

⑤Grill skin side down for 5 minutes on medium heat. Flip over and grill for 2 minutes. Grill while wiping off the excess oil. That way the surface will be crispy.

⑥ Add the sauce to it, increase the heat, and when the sauce thickens a little, it’s done.

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
