Instrucciones
- 1
In a small Mixing Bowl, whisk together the Soy Sauce, Mirin, Sake, and Brown Sugar until the sugar dissolves. In a separate tiny Mixing Bowl, mix the Cornstarch and Water until smooth to make a slurry. Set both aside.
- 2
Pat the Chicken Thighs thoroughly dry with paper towels — this is key for a good sear. Season both sides evenly with Kosher Salt and Black Pepper.
- 3
Heat a large Skillet over ^[medium-high heat] and add the Neutral Oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the Chicken Thighs in a single layer, smooth side down. Do not crowd the pan — cook in batches if needed.
- 4
Sear the Chicken Thighs undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the bottom is deep golden brown. Flip and cook for another 4–5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches %[165°F]. Transfer the Chicken Thighs to a plate and tent loosely with Aluminum Foil.
- 5
Reduce the heat to ^[medium]. Pour the Soy Sauce mixture into the same Skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a Wooden Spoon. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- 6
Give the Cornstarch slurry a quick stir and pour it into the simmering sauce. Whisk constantly for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glossy, syrupy glaze that coats the back of a spoon.
- 7
Return the Chicken Thighs (and any resting juices) to the Skillet. Turn the pieces to coat them thoroughly in the glaze, cooking for 1 more minute so the Chicken Thighs is heated through and well-coated.
- 8
Slice or serve the Chicken Thighs whole over steamed White Rice. Spoon any remaining sauce from the pan over the top. Garnish with sliced Green Onions and toasted Sesame Seeds.
