Steps
Steps
- 1Pat the chicken dry, prick the skin a few times with the tip of a knife and season lightly with the salt.
- 2Stir the soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar together until the sugar dissolves.
- 3Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and lay in the chicken skin side down. Fry for 8–10 minutes, pressing now and then with a spatula, until the skin is deep golden and crisp and the fat has rendered.
- 4Turn the chicken and cook for 3–4 minutes on the other side. Wipe the fat out of the pan with kitchen paper: left in, it stops the glaze from clinging.
- 5Pour in the sauce and let it bubble over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes, turning the chicken and spooning the sauce over, until it thickens to a glossy glaze.
- 6Slice the chicken, lay it over the rice, spoon over the glaze from the pan, and scatter with the spring onion and sesame seeds.
