Today I will prepare the easiest teriyaki chicken recipe for dinner, a real treat, in which I will play a little with the flavours and ingredients. I will bring Asia's tastes and spices to my plate on a typical Italian side dish, namely tagliatelle.

I will make a teriyaki chicken recipe using the bottled teriyaki sauce in this recipe, but I will enrich its flavour by adding some extra ingredients such as ginger or bamboo shoots. It is not a difficult recipe; in my opinion, anyone can make it and customize it to their taste.

  • Easiest Teriyaki Chicken Recipe

If you don't want to cook chicken today, I recommend the king prawn noodles recipe, another Asian recipe in which I used teriyaki sauce.

But let's start with the ingredients!

Ingredients

I chose to use chicken drumsticks because I had them in the fridge, but you can also use chicken thighs or chicken breast. But because I have a few chicken wings left from another recipe, I put them on as well, but the basic idea is that I used about 750 g.

Asian flavours are present through the 180 g teriyaki sauce, about 100 g bamboo shoots and a little black soy sauce, about three tablespoons.

And to be the complete recipe, we add some vegetables such as two shallots, half a red pepper, half a leek, three cloves of garlic, one hot chilli pepper and a little ginger, about 25 grams. I will also use some Chestnut mushrooms, about 250 grams and let's not forget a few sprigs of spring onions that we will use at the end for decoration.

Preparing the Ingredients

I start with the chicken legs I left with the skin on because I like the taste of fried skin, and I think it offers a flavour. After I wiped them with a paper towel, I seasoned with sea salt and freshly ground pepper and sprinkled them with a spoonful of flour.

I dusted the mushrooms with a brush and then sliced them, and the bamboo buds that were already cut into sticks, I cut into smaller pieces.

How to Make the Easiest Teriyaki Chicken Recipe?

To give you an idea of how I want to make this teriyaki chicken recipe, I tell you that I will first fry the chicken drumsticks, put them aside, then fry the vegetables, put the legs back and simmer them all together.

Fry the Drumsticks

So first, heat two tablespoons of oil in a pan and fry the chicken drumsticks until they catch a crust and turn a golden colour.

Remove the drumsticks and put them aside, while in the same pan, we put a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter to melt.

Fry the Vegetables

After the butter has melted, add the chopped ingredients to the frying pan and fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

After frying them for two or three minutes, add the chopped kapia pepper and fry for another three minutes over medium heat.

Season with a teaspoon of sea salt, add three teaspoons of black soy sauce, and then put the chicken drumsticks back.

Add two cups of water and simmer for about twenty minutes. If you want, put a lid on top to keep the flavours inside and make it faster.

We can add the sliced mushrooms and cook them for another ten minutes until they soften.

Finishing the Dish

Next come the bamboo shoots and teriyaki sauce. The bamboo shoots should not cook too long because they should remain slightly crispy.

Simmer for another five minutes without a lid, and that's it, the easiest teriyaki chicken recipe, ready to serve.
