Where this dish comes from

Teriyaki chicken is the dish that introduced millions of Americans to the possibility of umami. Glazed repeatedly with a sweet soy reduction until lacquered and glistening — it is a lesson in the power of a simple sauce done perfectly.

Teriyaki Chicken

Ingredients
  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs (or butterflied boneless thighs)
  • Teriyaki sauce: ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup mirin, 2 tbsp sake, 2 tbsp sugar — reduce in a saucepan until thick enough to coat a spoon, then cool completely
  • Steamed rice, sesame seeds, sliced scallion, lemon wedge for serving
Instructions
  1. 1

    Reduce teriyaki sauce until properly thick — thin sauce runs off and pools on the plate. Grill or pan-sear chicken skin-side down over medium-high until deeply golden and crisp, 5–6 minutes. Flip. In the last 3 minutes, brush with teriyaki glaze every 60 seconds, turning and brushing both sides — build 3 coats minimum. Each coat builds the lacquered finish. Rest 5 minutes. Slice on the bias. Fan over steamed rice. Drizzle remaining teriyaki. Sesame seeds and scallion. The glaze should be lacquered, not sticky.
