Japanese Sesame Chicken

Having a long weekend off from work? And are you craving for some restaurant food and flavors to have a change of taste? But your laziness and urge to stay relaxed at home won’t allow you to move. Well, here is a simple solution. You can easily indulge in this simple task of bringing your cooking skills in use without spending much time in the kitchen.

So Saucy

The Restaurant-style Japanese sesame chicken offers a mix of authentic flavors blended in the main sauce that is more or less like the teriyaki sauce. There are only five simple ingredients used to make the sauce. Honey used balances the flavors out and adds sweetness to the dish.

Spicy Dicey

For the spice lovers, an addition of red chili flakes can also be made. This dish can be served over a bed of rice, or alongside soba noodles and some fresh vegetables.

Cooking Tip

Chicken thighs can be substituted for chicken breasts, cooking about 5 minutes on each side. The chicken can also be cooked in a large sauté pan on medium heat with 1 tablespoon heated oil if grill pan is not available.

Recipe

STEP 1

Whisk honey, mirin, soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil in a medium-sized bowl.

STEP 3

Measure 1 1/2 cups of water, 1 teaspoon oil for every cup of uncooked rice, combine and stir in a medium saucepan. Bring water to a boil and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the pot stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.

STEP 5

Heat up oil in a flat pan or grill. Once the grill is nice and hot, add the chicken pieces. Cook uncovered on each side until no longer pink (160-165°F), about 4-6 minutes on each side. Flip over and baste the chicken with sauce. At the end of cooking brush with more sauce before serving.

STEP 7

In a small bowl mix sesame seeds, chives, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Sprinkle on top of chicken.

STEP 2

Add chicken to a large bowl and add to it minced garlic and ¼ cup of the sauce mix, stir and distribute the sauce and garlic evenly around the chicken. Then leave it to marinate for 10 minutes.
