A quick and easy crispy chicken thigh teriyaki stir fry served with fluffy jasmine rice, perfect for busy weeknights and casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 cup jasmine rice (185 grams), rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or grapeseed)
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons mirin or rice wine (30 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (25 grams)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (15 ml)
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thin
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers and snap peas), thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water or chicken broth (60 ml)

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and water or chicken broth in a small bowl to make the teriyaki sauce.
  3. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Combine rice with 1 1/4 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let rest covered for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down without crowding. Press lightly and cook undisturbed for 6-7 minutes until skin is golden and crisp. Flip and cook 5-6 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and rest.
  5. In the same skillet, stir fry bell peppers and snap peas for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Add teriyaki sauce to the skillet with vegetables. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Slice rested chicken thighs and return to skillet. Toss gently to coat with sauce. Serve immediately over jasmine rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Pat chicken dry to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd pan and flip chicken only once. Use fresh garlic and ginger for best flavor. Add cornstarch slurry to thicken sauce if desired. Reheat leftovers in skillet to maintain crispy skin.
