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

  • Black tea bbq rubs 3g

  • Minced garlic (optional)

  • Black pepper to taste

  • A little cooking oil

Instructions:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
