Flavorful Teriyaki Chicken Drumettes In a Frying Pan
- 8 Chicken wing drumettes - the large end of the wing
- 10 cm White part of a Japanese leek (and the green part, if you have it)
- 1 knob Ginger
- 6 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 3 tbsp Sake
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 and for decoration Sesame seeds
- This time I cooked them in a frying pan, but you can also use an oven or grill.
- They come out nice, crisp and delicious.
- I gave directions for cooking them in the oven or grill at the end.
- Make cuts in the drumettes with a sharp knife.This is so the flavor will sink in.)
- Finely chop the green onion and ginger.
- Put the drumettes in a plastic bag, add the sake, salt, and pepper, and rub lightly.
- Let sit for about 10 minutes.
- Combine the seasonings and the leek and ginger from Step 3.
- Note: Be sure to add this sauce in Step 8, after the chicken is cooked through!
- If you add it first, it will burn.
- Heat up a frying pan and brown the chicken on all sides.
- Cover with a lid and cook for 8 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the drumettes.
- If they don't seem to be cooking through, add 2-3 tablespoons of sake.
- Pierce the thickest part of the drumettes with a skewer, and if the liquid runs clear, add the sauce from Step 5.
- Simmer down the sauce, while turning the chicken over.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water if the sauce starts to dry up.
- When it starts to turn shiny, it's ready.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and enjoy.
- Oven-baked method: Put the chicken drumettes in a plastic bag with the seasonings and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- If you're in a hurry, just rub the seasonings in.
- Drain the marinade and place the chicken on an oven rack, or on an oven tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven.
- Pierce the drumettes with a skewer and if the liquid runs clear, they're ready.
- If you prefer a stronger flavor, brush the chicken with the marinade half-way through cooking.
