Direction
1. Remove excess fat and stringy pieces from chicken. Make slits in the meat so that it is uniformly thick. Poke a few holes in the skin with the tip of a knife. Season the chicken with ☆ in advance. Wait 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Sprinkle just a little potato starch on both sides of the chicken. Place a little oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken skin side down. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, until the skin is nicely charred.
3. Reduce heat, add sake, cover and cook over low heat for 6 to 7 minutes (steam the chicken skin-side down). When steaming is complete, turn off the heat and remove the chicken from the pan once it is done.
4. Put ★ in the pan, and heat until it’s slightly boiled. Cook the chicken, meat side down, tossing it in the sauce. While the sauce is simmering, toss the skin with the sauce as well. When the mixture thickens and the water content is reduced, it is ready to serve.
