CHICKEN TERIYAKI

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons sake (Japanese Rice Wine)
1/4 cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons grated fresh gingerroot
Splash sesame oil
1 3/4 pounds chicken thigh fillets (no skin or bones), preferably organic, cut or scissored into bite-sized pieces
1 teaspoon peanut oil
1 3/4 to 2 1/2 cups sushi rice, cooked according to packet instructions

Steps:

  • Combine the sake, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and sesame oil in a dish that you can steep the chicken in, (I use a 23cm square dish, but anything of similar dimensions would do).
  • Add the prepared chicken pieces and leave for 15 minutes.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a large shallow frying pan or casserole (that has a lid) over medium heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken pieces from the marinade to the pan. Saute them until they look cooked on the outside.
  • Add the marinade to the chicken pieces and bring to a bubble, then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer, put the lid on and cook for about 5 minutes. Cut into a piece of chicken to make sure it's cooked through.
  • Remove the cooked pieces with a slotted spoon (you could keep them in a bowl covered in aluminum foil to keep them warm) and turn the heat up under the pan to let the liquid boil down to a thick dark syrup.
  • Return the chicken pieces back to the pan, stir well so that all the chicken pieces are coated in the sticky savory syrup. Serve with a comforting pile of sushi rice and perhaps some steamed baby bok choy or other veggies of your choice.

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.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

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:

  • To make the best chicken teriyaki, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They're more flavorful and juicy than chicken breasts.
  • Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the flavors penetrate the chicken and make it more tender.
  • When cooking the chicken, be careful not to overcook it. Chicken teriyaki is best when it's cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • If you're using a store-bought teriyaki sauce, be sure to taste it before adding it to the chicken. Some teriyaki sauces can be very salty or sweet.
  • Serve chicken teriyaki with rice, noodles, or vegetables. It's also great as a sandwich or wrap.

Conclusion:

Chicken teriyaki is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give chicken teriyaki a try.
