Time 1h13m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 Japanese cucumbers, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
¼ cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons sake
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
6 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
3 scallions, sliced into thin strips
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Place cucumber slices in a colander in the sink. Sprinkle salt on top and toss to coat. Allow to sit for 20 minutes. Rinse cucumber slices very well with cold water; drain.
  • Mix rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sugar, and sesame oil together in a bowl. Add cucumber slices and sesame seeds. Toss gently and transfer to the refrigerator.
  • Whisk 3 tablespoons soy sauce, mirin, sake, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl to make teriyaki sauce.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Prick chicken skin all over with a fork; place skin-side down in the hot oil. Cook until the skin is golden brown, about 12 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until second side is browned, about 7 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium; pour teriyaki sauce over chicken. Cook until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice chicken into strips and place in a bowl; add teriyaki sauce from the skillet and toss to coat.
  • Toast corn tortillas in a large, dry skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and slightly blackened around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Wrap in a dish towel to keep warm.
  • Mix sour cream and sriracha sauce together in a small bowl.
  • Divide teriyaki chicken among tortillas. Drizzle sour cream-sriracha mixture over chicken. Top with cucumber salad, scallions, and black sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tacos.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick and flavorful: The sauce is what makes these tacos so delicious. Simmer it for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Use a variety of toppings: This will add flavor and texture to your tacos. Some good options include shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, avocado, and sour cream.
  • Serve the tacos immediately: These tacos are best when they are served hot and fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
