Teriyaki Chicken With Roasted Scallions Recipes

TERIYAKI CHICKEN WITH ROASTED SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Divide sauce between two bowls; use one for basting and reserve other for serving.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place chicken on sheet, and baste. Bake on upper rack 20 minutes, basting twice with pan juices.
• Transfer to lower rack; baste once more. Continue to cook until thermometer inserted into a breast (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, on another rimmed baking sheet, toss scallions with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast on upper rack until crisp-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve chicken with scallions and reserved sauce.

CHICKEN YAKITORI WITH SCALLIONS (TRADITIONAL STYLE JAPANESE KEBABS)

Steps:

• To make the teriyaki sauce, heat the rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and scallions to boiling over medium heat. Let cook for 7 minutes, then whisk in cornstarch slurry and cook for another 3 minutes or so, to allow to thicken. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
• Arrange the chicken cubes in a shallow nonreactive container such as a glass baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and rub into the chicken. Pour the sake over the chicken and then pour in the teriyaki sauce. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Begin soaking about 12 bamboo skewers in water so they won't burn on the grill.
• Heat the grill and thread alternate pieces of chicken and leeks on the skewers. Each skewer should have approximately 3 pieces of chicken, and each serving will consist of 3 skewers. Grill over indirect heat until the chicken is tender but not dry, about 5 to 10 minutes.

• Combine roasted garlic teriyaki sauce, brown sugar and oil, stirring until sugar dissolves.

• Turn bag over several times to coat chicken. Refrigerate 2 hours, turning bag over once.

• Grill chicken 4 to 5 inches from hot coals 12 to 15 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in center, turning over occasionally.

OVEN BAKED CHICKEN TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until dissolved; set aside. Combine soy sauce, sugar, mirin, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes together in a saucepan over medium heat until the mixture starts to simmer. Slowly whisk in cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until thickened, stirring often, about 10 minutes.
• Pat chicken dry with paper towels; arrange in a baking dish. Pour sauce over chicken breasts, coating all sides.
• Bake chicken breasts in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

CHICKEN TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Place chicken on a cutting board and poke several holes through the skin with a sharp knife. Season with 1 tsp salt.
• Place chicken, skin side down, in a cold large cast-iron skillet and cook over medium heat, undisturbed, until chicken skin releases easily, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, lifting up once or twice to let hot fat run underneath, until skin is evenly golden brown and crisp, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk soy sauce, mirin, and sake in a small bowl.
• Transfer chicken skin side up to a plate. Wipe out skillet and increase heat to medium. Pour in soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 4 minutes. Return chicken to pan, arranging skin side up, and cook, adding a splash of water if sauce looks too thick, until underside is cooked through, about 1 minute. Turn thighs skin side down and continue to cook until warmed through and coated, about 1 minute more. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and slice into 1/2" strips; set teriyaki sauce in skillet aside.
• Toss radishes, scallions, and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt.
• Place rice on a platter and arrange chicken over. Drizzle with reserved teriyaki sauce and top with radish salad.
