Chicken Teriyaki with crunch
Description
Sticky, savory, and irresistibly crispy - this Chicken Teriyaki with Crunch is a bold twist on a Japanese classic. Juicy chicken thighs are pan-seared to golden perfection, then glazed in a glossy homemade teriyaki sauce made with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sprinkle of brown sugar. But the real magic? A surprise layer of crunch - whether it's a crispy panko topping, toasted sesame seeds, or flash-fried veggie slivers - that adds texture and flair to every bite. Served over steamed rice or tucked into a bento box, this dish is quick enough for weeknights and impressive enough for guests. It's comfort food with a satisfying snap.
