Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. Chicken thighs deboned and skin-on
  • Salt
  • Optional garnishing with white sesame seed

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Japanese mirin sweet rice wine
  • 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce preferred
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar

Instructions
 

  • Season both sides of the chicken with a pinch of salt. In a saucepan, combine all ingredients for the Teriyaki Sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat while you wait. Cook the chicken thighs skin-side-down until they are well browned and cooked through. To get a crispy skin, pan fry the skin. Then turn off the heat and take the chicken out. Let cool.
  • Cut the chicken thighs in half and then drizzle the teriyaki glaze over it. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with warm, steam rice.
