Teriyaki Style Chicken Recipes

CHICKEN TERIYAKI

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.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Poke the chicken using a fork to help absorb the flavors of the teriyaki sauce during cooking.
• Make the teriyaki sauce. In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and ginger and mix well.
• Add chicken to the bowl and marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken skin-side down (if your chicken has skin) in the skillet, cooking until browned.
• Flip the chicken over to cook the other side, reducing the heat to low.
• Pour the teriyaki sauce that was used to marinate the chicken into the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and steam cook the chicken on low heat until done-the internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 F and the juices should run clear.
• Remove the lid and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Slice the chicken and serve on a plate. Pour the remaining thickened teriyaki sauce over the chicken.
• Optional: If you like, garnish the teriyaki chicken with additional grated ginger.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• For the marinade: Combine the soy sauce, oil, sugar, ginger, sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large resealable plastic bag. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 8 boneless skinless thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds), squeeze out the air, seal tightly and massage gently to coat the chicken with marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze up to 1 month; defrost in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
• To cook: Remove the chicken from the bag, letting any excess marinade drip off, and transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil, turning halfway through, until lightly charred, cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, about 12 minutes.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Whisk teriyaki marinade, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and black pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 5 hours.
• Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add scallions, garlic, and oil; stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add broccoli, snow peas, and bell pepper; stir-fry for 2 minutes more. Add stir-fry sauce and mix until vegetables are coated.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Add chicken to the wok and stir-fry until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes.

EASY TERIYAKI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken and fry for 7 mins, or until golden. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for 2 mins. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, vinegar and 100ml water. Bring to the boil and cook for 2 - 5 mins over a medium heat until the chicken is sticky and coated in a thick sauce.
• Scatter over the spring onions and sesame seeds, then serve the chicken with the rice and steamed veg.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and ginger.
• Whisk to mix well.
• Marinate chicken in half of sauce 2-3 hours, turning once.
• Stir cornstarch into remaining sauce and bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens slightly (I did this step right before cooking chicken).
• Cool this mixture to room temperature.
• Drain marinade off of chicken, reserving 2 tbsp of the marinade; discard remaining marinade.
• Stir fry chicken in vegetable oil until chicken in almost done.
• Stir in reserved 2 tbsp of marinade and continue stir frying until chicken is done and glazed.
• Serve over hot rice with cooled teriyaki sauce.

TERIYAKI-STYLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the soy sauce, the gingerroot, the honey, the Sherry, the vinegar, and the garlic paste. Flatten the chicken breast halves between sheets of plastic wrap until they are about 1/2 inch thick and let them marinate in the soy mixture, turning them once, for 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken, reserving the marinade in a small saucepan, skin sides down, to the oiled rack of a broiler pan and broil it under a preheated broiler about 6 inches from the heat for 5 minutes. While the chicken is cooking boil the reserved marinade until it is reduced by half. Brush the chicken with some of the marinade, turn it, and brush it with the remaining marinade. Broil the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes more, or until it is just cooked through, transfer it to a cutting board, and cut it on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
