Teriyaki Chicken without Teriyaki sauce

 If you don’t have bottled teriyaki sauce on hand, you can easily make this dish using basic seasonings.

Ingredients

Chicken legs or thighs - 2

Ground black pepper - 1 TBSP

Salt - 1/2 tsp

Ginger - a few slices

Cooking wine - 1 TBSP

Soy sauce - 2 TBSP

Dark soy sauce - 1/2 TBSP

Honey - 1 TBSP

Garlic - a few cloves, peeled

Water - 2 TBSP

Steps

1. Trim the bones from the chicken legs if desired. Season with salt, black pepper, and slices of ginger. Let sit for at least 5 minutes (longer if possible).

2. In a small bowl, mix together cooking wine, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, and water. Stir well.
3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add ginger slices and garlic cloves, then reduce to medium heat. Place the chicken pieces in the pan and fry until browned on both sides, about 8 minutes.

4. Pour in the prepared sauce. Cover the pan and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce thickens slightly.

4. Slice the chicken, spoon the sauce over top, and serve with steamed rice and vegetables on the side.
