- 1 boneless, skinless chicken thigh and/or breast, trimmed of fat
- 3 soy sauce
- 1 lemon juice
- 1 brown sugar
- 1 honey*
- 1 rice wine or mirin
- 1 minced garlic
- 1 grated ginger
- 1 sesame oil
- pinch of black pepper
- 1 sesame seeds
- Cut the chicken into 2-inch-by-1-inch pieces. In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients together except for the chicken until the sugar has dissolved. Coat the chicken pieces with the marinade. Marinate for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade. Cook until slightly browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. (The sugar and honey in the marinade will burn easily, so watch it carefully and add the reserved marinade 1 tablespoon at a time when the pan gets dry. If needed, reduce the heat to avoid burning.) Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
