mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar with a bit of sugar

💰Cheaper: rice vinegar with a bit of sugar

A more accessible alternative.

Salt and pepper the chicken thighs and let them sit for 30 minutes or preferred overnight in the fridge.

In a cold pan, place your chicken skin side down, and turn the heat to medium. Let the chicken fat render and get nice and crispy.

Cut up your broccolini or veggie of choice.

Once your chicken skin is golden brown and crispy, flip it over to do the same to the other side.

Once the chicken is nice and golden brown all around, take it out and set it aside.

Drop in your chopped up broccolini and let that sear in the chicken fat until it is nice and a little crispy and vibrant in color, then take it out.

Dunk your chicken into the teriyaki sauce, slice it up, and serve with some fluffy rice and seared broccolini.
