CHICKEN TERIYAKI



Chicken Teriyaki image

Teriyaki is derived from the Japanese root words teri, to shine, and yaki, to broil or grill. That's the way traditional teriyaki looks: shiny and incised with grill marks. In Japan, teriyaki is a mix of soy sauce, sake and the rice wine mirin, which imparts a subtle sweetness. The teriyaki found throughout Seattle, of which this is an adaptation, is a bit more showy. Cooks sweeten with white sugar and pineapple juice. They thicken with cornstarch. Ginger and garlic go into the mix because of the Korean ancestry of many cooks. It is not at all traditional, but it is simple to prepare and addictive to eat. Be sure to plan ahead as you do need to marinate the chicken before cooking. An overnight stay in the fridge is ideal, but many readers have been happy with a quick marinade of an hour or so.

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup soy sauce
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
6 cloves garlic, crushed in a press
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 3-inch cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon pineapple juice
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients except cornstarch and chicken. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Discard cinnamon stick and mix in 1/2 cup water.
  • Place chicken in a heavy-duty sealable plastic bag. Add soy sauce mixture, seal bag, and turn to coat chicken. Refrigerate for at least an hour, ideally overnight.
  • Remove chicken and set aside. Pour mixture into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low. Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add to pan. Stir until mixture begins to thicken, and gradually stir in enough water (about 1/2 cup) until sauce is the consistency of heavy cream. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Preheat a broiler or grill. Lightly brush chicken pieces on all sides with sauce, and broil or grill about 3 minutes per side. While chicken is cooking, place sauce over high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a bare simmer, adding water a bit at a time to keep mixture at a pourable consistency. To serve, slice chicken into strips, arrange on plates, and drizzle with sauce.

Tips for Making the Best Teriyaki Marinade

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Opt for good soy sauce, mirin, and sake. If you can find them, use Japanese brands for the most authentic flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking: If you prefer a less sweet marinade, use less brown sugar or honey. You can also add a bit of grated ginger or garlic for a more savory flavor.
  • Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat and tenderize it. If you have time, marinate the meat for longer, up to overnight.
  • Cook the meat over high heat: This will help to caramelize the marinade and create a delicious crust on the meat.
  • Baste the meat frequently while cooking: This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
