Best 2 Japanese Amazu Chicken Recipes

JAPANESE AMAZU CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make Amazu sauce: combine all ingredients in bowl and set aside.
• Combine eggs and cornstarch. Dip the chicken into mixture, coating well.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
• Add chicken, half at a time, cook 5 minutes or until browned. Drain; keep warm (I put in a warm oven as they are done cooking).
• While chicken is cooking boil bean sprouts in a large amount of boiling water for 3 minutes; drain.
• Use a vegetable peeler to slice cucumber into long thin strips.
• Toss together the bean sprouts, cucumber, radishes and green onions.
• Arrange chicken on top.
• Drizzle with Amazu sauce.
• Garnish with sesame seeds and red pepper.

EASY JAPANESE-INSPIRED GRILLED MISO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix miso, mirin, rice wine, soy sauce, and honey together in a bowl until miso is completely dissolved. Stir in garlic and ginger.
• Pour marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Turn the bag or mix chicken to ensure even distribution of marinade. Refrigerate and allow to marinade 8 hours or overnight, mixing or turning the bag occasionally.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove from the grill and chop into wide strips, approximately 4 to 5 slices per piece. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
