CHICKEN BREAST AND CHICKEN THIGHS STIR FRY MIX

After giving you sugar rushrush for 7 days I thought I should give you something delicious and you know me, I love me some chicken!

TERIYAKI CHICKEN THIGH VEGGIE STIR FRY

I love chicken marinated in any type of sauce but my very favorite is Teriyaki sauce or marinade that gives the chicken a fantastic vibrant taste. Teriyaki is not really the sauce but a cooking technique used in Japanese cuisine in which foods are broiled or grilled with a glaze of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. The word teriyaki derives from the noun teri, which refers to a shine or luster given by the sugar content in the tare, and yaki, which refers to the cooking method of grilling or broiling. Traditionally the meat is dipped in or brushed with sauce several times during cooking.The tare is traditionally made by mixing and heating soy sauce and sake (or mirin) and sugar (or honey). The sauce is boiled and reduced to the desired thickness, then used to marinate meat, which is then grilled or broiled. Sometimes ginger is added and the final dish may be garnished with spring onions. Overtime there have been many variations of the teriyaki sauce as more and more ingredients are added to it to suit the tastes and preferences of different people.

BALSAMIC HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

To say that I love chicken is an understatement! Chicken is THE dish that I would eat every day if I could! Fried, baked, stewed, boiled, curried, so many options to choose from. As you can see I have a few chicken recipes on Nairobi Kitchen. I made this Indian chicken dish that was a total hit with everyone. Chicken has so many parts that you can cook individually or even mix them up. From chicken breast to drum sticks to chicken wings to chicken thighs and even whole chicken. I loved my weekend chicken curry that was full of delicious spices and aroma. Marinating chicken or any meat for that matter intensifies the flavour making the dish extra special and truly have that out of this world taste in your mouth. You can marinate the chicken in wet or dry marinade ingredients depending on how you want to cook. Dry rubs would be great for when you want to grill the chicken whereas wet marinades work great for when you want to fry or even bake the chicken.  Vinegar gives the chicken a tangy flavour whereas honey adds that sweetness therefore balancing out the flavours.
