Chicken Thigh Saute with Nuts, Garlic, Butter, & Soy Sauce
- 1 thigh Chicken thigh
- 10 grams Peanuts (or cashews, walnuts, etc.)
- 1/2 tbsp Butter
- 1/2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp Mirin
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 dash Salt
- 1 tbsp Sake
- I used one 260 g chicken thigh.
- Cut into bite-sized pieces and lightly season with salt.
- Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allows the salt to blend in.
- Place the nuts in a plastic baggie and use a rolling pin to crush them.
- You could also use a mortar and pestle and grind them into whatever size you want.
- Mince the garlic.
- Place the chicken with the skin side down in a non-oiled Teflon frying pan.
- Cook on medium-high heat until crisply browned.
- Lower the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and slowly cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and flip over the chicken.
- Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of sake and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Once the chicken has been cooked through, flip it over and cook the skin side one more time on high heat to really make it crispy (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove the chicken and place on a plate.
- Add the garlic, butter, soy sauce, mirin, and crushed nuts to the frying pan from Step 6.
- Stir everything together.
- Turn the heat to medium-low and cook until bubbly.
- Return the chicken to pan and lightly mix everything together to finish.
