Cooking tips

  • The natural fat from the chicken skin will render during cooking, so adding too much oil can make the dish greasy and soggy. Use only a light coating of oil for pan seasoning.
  • Instead of increasing sugar excessively, balance the sweetness by combining equal amounts of soju and mirin—this results in a well-rounded, elegant umami flavor with a naturally glossy finish without being overly sweet.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to serve a satisfying one-bowl dish loved by all ages, thanks to its classic sweet-salty teriyaki sauce.
  • Anyone seeking a tender, melt-in-the-mouth Japanese-style chicken dish instead of dry, tough breast meat.
