Ingredients
- •4 chicken thighs
- •2 tbsp soy sauce
- •2 tbsp mirin
- •2 tbsp sake
- •1 tbsp sugar
Steps
- 1.Whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar.
- 2.Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down in a hot skillet until browned, then flip and cook until nearly done.
- 3.Pour in the sauce and simmer, spooning it over the chicken, until it naturally reduces to a glossy glaze, about 5-7 minutes - no cornstarch needed, the alcohol evaporating and sugar caramelizing do the thickening.
