Chef Johns Chicken Teriyaki Food

TERIYAKI CHICKEN THIGHS | CHEF JOHN'S COOKING CLASS

Steps:

• Gently pound the meat several times by using the tip, back, and face of a knife respectively. (Pond the chicken with a knife to break the tendons, so the flavors easy to absorb.)
• In a mixing bowl, add chicken, salt, black pepper, sake, and egg yolk, mix well.
• On a plate, add corn starch, coat the chicken with corn starch evenly. (Shake off excessive corn starch, fry until golden over medium-low heat. It will scorch if the heat is too high. )
• In a large cooking pan over medium heat, bring enough oil to 250°F/120°C, then turn the heat to medium-low. Shake off excessive corn starch on the chicken, fry for 3-5 minutes until golden.
• Add Sake, mirin, and Teriyaki sauce. As soon as the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce, turn off the heat.
• Cut the chicken into small pieces, put it on a serving plate. Serve with broccoli, carrot, or any vegetable that you prefer, and rice.
• Enjoy!

GRILLED CHICKEN TERIYAKI SKEWERS WITH MISO RANCH

Steps:

• Soak bamboo skewers in water.
• Cut chicken thighs in half lengthwise along the creases and halve the thicker portions to get 3 or 4 pieces each. Place chicken in a bowl. Pour in soy sauce, sake, mirin, ginger, green onions, brown sugar, and oil. Toss by hand until well combined and brown sugar is dissolved. Cover top in plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 6 hours.
• Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, and miso in a bowl. Add green onion, garlic, tarragon, dill, and chives. Season with black pepper and cayenne. Whisk dressing until thoroughly combined.
• Thread chicken pieces onto skewers. Strain marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil to make the glaze.
• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat. Grill skewers, basting with some of the reserved marinade, until meat firms up and springs back to the touch, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Serve skewers next to the miso ranch dressing and brush with reserved glaze.
