Easy Chicken Thigh with Salty Onion Sauce

• 1 Chicken thigh
• 1 dash Sake (optional)
• 1 dash Salt and pepper
• 1/4 Japanese leek (finely chopped)
• 1 dash Salt and pepper
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp Sugar
• 1 dash Black pepper (optional)

1. Cut slits into the thick section of the chicken thigh so that it will cook through easily.
2. Season with salt, pepper, and sake, and let sit for 5 minutes.
3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the sauce.
4. Combine the ingredients.
5. Cook the chicken.
6. Heat a frying pan (with no oil).
7. Place the chicken in the pan with the skin side down and pan-fry on medium heat until browned.
8. Once the skin side has browned, flip it over.
9. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 5-8 minutes.
10. Keep an eye on it as it cooks.
11. Stick it with a skewer and if the juices run clear, it's done!
12. Once it has been cooked through the center, flip it over once again and cook on medium heat for a crispy finish.
13. Slice into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a plate.
14. Top with the sauce from Step 2 and it's done.
15. Optionally garnish with chili threads or ichimi spice.
