Baked Teriyaki Chicken
Baked Teriyaki Chicken
When we think of teriyaki, we typically think of Japanese cooking. But in Japan, teriyaki refers more to a method of preparation; teri-meaning glaze and yaki-meaning to broil. Teriyaki can be traced back to Japanese immigrants settling in Hawaii. They combined soy sauce with pineapple juice, giving it the sweet and salty balance. While there are many variations, teriyaki typically contains sake, mirin, and sugar. This marinade is great on just about all protein and can be used as a sauce.
Ingredients
- 6 bone in chicken thighs
- 2 cups water
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sake
- 2 tbsp mirin
Instructions
- Heat all of the teriyaki ingredients together in a sauce pan for 15 minutes. Let cool. Marinate your chicken in the sauce for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. When ready to cook, place the chicken on a rack on a baking pan lined in foil. Preheat the oven to 325.
- Bake the chicken for 50 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
