Originating from Japan, Teriyaki Chicken is a popular dish that showcases the balance of sweet and savory flavors. Traditionally, teriyaki refers to a cooking technique involving grilling or broiling meat with a glaze made from soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. This dish has become a staple in Japanese cuisine and has been widely embraced globally, often adapted to suit local tastes and available ingredients.

Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces salt intake without sacrificing flavor.

sesame oil

Healthier: olive oil

Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil provides a healthier fat option while canola is budget-friendly.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 4 slices of dill pickle
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. 1In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
  2. 2Add the chicken breasts to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  3. 3In a separate bowl, add the flour and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
  4. 4Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, pressing to adhere the flour to the chicken.
  5. 5In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  6. 6Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. 7Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. 8Toast the hamburger buns in the same skillet until golden brown.
  9. 9Assemble the sandwiches by placing a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of each bun, topping with a slice of pickle, and then placing the top half of the bun on.
