Teriyaki Chicken Thighs
Ingredients (Serves 2):
-
2 boneless chicken thighs (about 400g)
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon cooking wine (Shaoxing wine or similar)
-
1 tablespoon mirin (or substitute with a bit of sugar)
-
1 teaspoon sugar
-
Minced garlic (optional)
-
Black pepper to taste
-
A little cooking oil
Instructions:
-
Marinate the chicken: Score both sides of the chicken thighs with a few shallow cuts. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, black tea rubs, cooking wine, mirin, sugar, garlic (if using), and black pepper. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
-
Pan-fry the chicken: Heat a little oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Place the chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until fully done.
-
Add sauce and glaze: Pour in the remaining marinade and let it simmer on low heat. Reduce the sauce until thick and glossy, coating the chicken evenly.
