Easiest Chicken Teriyaki
Rice
Soy Sauce
Brown sugar
Garlic
Ginger
Cinnamon
Chicken thighs
Scallions
Sesame seeds
-
Set a pot of rice cooking.
-
Combine about a half cup of soy sauce, a tablespoon of brown sugar, some grated garlic and ginger, and a little ground cinnamon and then heat until the sugar dissolves.
-
Put a couple tablespoons of the mixture in a small bowl and set aside.
-
Dress some chicken thighs in the rest of the sauce and then quickly broil or grill until crisp at the edges and soft within. That happens rather more quickly than you'd think.
-
Serve over the rice, drizzled with the reserved sauce and dusted and sprinkled with a load of chopped scallions and a drift of sesame seeds.
Enjoy!
