How to cook it · about 30 minutes
- Rinse the rice in a few changes of water until it runs mostly clear, then cook it.
- Stir together the soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Pat the chicken dry. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium, and lay the thighs in skin side down. Cook 8 to 10 minutes without moving them, until the skin is deep golden and crisp.
- Flip and cook 4 more minutes. Steam the broccoli florets in the microwave or a covered pot with a splash of water for 4 minutes while you wait.
- Spoon off most of the fat in the pan. Pour in the sauce, turn the heat to medium-high and let it bubble for 3 to 4 minutes, spooning it over the chicken, until it looks like syrup and coats the meat.
- Check the thickest piece reaches 165F or shows no pink. Slice, spoon over the glaze, and top with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with the rice and broccoli.
