How to Make No Alcohol Chicken Teriyaki - Video Recipe

I wanted to use Mirin (sweet Sake) but I thought non-alcoholic chicken Teriyaki might be good for some people, so I didn't use it ;)


You cannot always skip Mirin or Sake but sometimes you can by using the ingredient(s) that can be a substitute (gives a shine and remove the unwanted smell of the ingredients).

I personally don't like the gummy texture of the fat, so I removed the skin of the chicken. If you like it, you can keep it on!!! I like the chicken with skin when it comes to Karaage, though.

I recommend chicken thigh because it is juicy. Chicken breast might be too lean, but it is up to you!
