This is a recipe for awesome teriyaki chicken. A Hawaiian friend of mine taught me how to make it.  it's not the kind of teriyaki from a store-bought marinade. It tastes like the kind you get at your local teriyaki bowl restaurant.

Ingredients:

3-4 lbs  boneless skinless chicken thighs (serves 4-6)
3-4 cups white rice. Hinode brand is tasty.

Sauce ingredients:

1 part soy sauce. Aloha brand (not just saying hello     )
1 part cheap beer. Coors, Bud, Heiny!!! 
1 part sugar. (plain white)

Optional sauce ingredients:

1 garlic clove chopped finely.
A little bit of fresh ginger, chopped finely or a dash or two of powdered ginger works really well also.
Sesame seeds. (they add a very subtle flavor)

Preparation: take the chicken thighs and remove as much of the fat as you can.  Tenderize the chicken if you like.  Set chicken aside.

Sauce preparation: in a small saucepan, add the soy, beer, and sugar as well as the optional ingredients that you like.  Bring to a boil.  Lower heat slightly, and stir mixture occasionally for 10 minutes.  Let sauce cool for five minutes.

Next in a large bowl, add the chicken and the teriyaki mixture, just covering the chicken, so you can save save about 1 cup or more of sauce for glaze and to drizzle on your rice/veggies.  Let chicken marinate for at least one hour, but preferably overnight.  The longer the chicken marinates the better the teriyaki flavor.

Glaze preparation: take the remaining teriyaki sauce, about 1 cup, and bring to medium or medium/high heat. Add in about 1-1 1/2 tablespoons of water/cornstarch mixture.  Continue to heat, about five minutes until thickened. Can be kept for a week or so in the fridge.

Prepare rice shortly before serving.  You can also steam some broccoli and carrots to go on top of the rice and chicken.

Cooking: heat grill to medium or slightly lower heat.  Put all of your chicken on at once.  Let chicken sear on one side for about 30-40 seconds and then turn over and sear the other side.  Continue to cook, turning frequently. Be careful that the chicken does not char around the edges.  Cook for about 15 minutes. Take a small amount of your glaze and hit the chicken with it just before you take it off the grill.  You'll know the chicken is done when you get a nice, dark, brown color. Think .   

Take cooked chicken and chop up into half-inch cubes, serve on top of rice with veggies and drizzle with a little more sauce and you're done.

Serve with an ice cold beer and enjoy. 

BTW: you WILL be the Chicken God  after making this at your next BBQ!



notes: most items you can buy in bulk at Costco or Sam's Club.  We like to use Aloha brand soy sauce, because it's less salty than Kikoman and we can get it locally in Kona.  Buy it by the gallon, because it's cheaper and once you try this recipe, you'll want to make it all the time.  Don't waste your money using expensive beer, you can't taste the difference anyways.  You can use mirin or cooking sherry, but again, there is only a small difference in flavor, but costs much more to make it that way. Using plain, refined sugar, has the best flavor, believe it or not.  You can use brown sugar or cane sugar, but the flavor isn't the same.  So if you prefer those experiment and see what you think.

Aloha, KP

Wow,

I was going to post about how I love hot pockets, but you guys are blowing me away with your skillz!

Looks tasty

Directions for Lean Pockets (paraphrased from Jim Gaffigan):   1 - Open package             2 - Put directly in toilet

I think lean pockets are different.  The Sub style Hot Pockets are the shizzle.

They have 25% of my DV of fat (and trans fat, mmmm) *Each*

BTW: Fry & Teddy, for reasons unknown, I have just now wandered into the drunk thread.  All I can say is..... you guys are now my witty drunken heroes.  keep up the entertainment.

[Popeye the Sailor]

Ok, lemme explain something to you guys, as you seem to have missed the memo.



Bachelors don't cook.



Bachelors throw things in microwaves, eat things one can buy at a gas station, and possibly, when things are dire, might toast things.  Typically waffles.


There is no sauteeing of mushrooms. There is no preparation of glazes.

Those things are called "cooking". Sheesh!

If that was a bean and cheese then you'd have been welcomed to the club. (you can be an honorary member)
As any REAL bachelor knows, Veggie anything and anything other than fruity pebbles does not come near the mouth area.
