Easy Teriyaki Chicken Rice bowl (蜜汁鸡扒饭)

Mi Zhi (蜜汁) means honey glaze. Jipa (鸡扒) means chicken steak. We normally use the chicken leg for this dish, and once it is deboned, it becomes a big, thick slab; that’s why we call it chicken steak. Fan (饭) is rice because this dish is often served on top of white rice; that’s how it got the name. You can look at it like our version of teriyaki chicken, the only difference is that we use honey as a sweetener instead of mirin. The recipe is super easy.

INSTRUCTIONS
De-bone The Chicken Legs. Lay them skin-side down. Roughly cut the chicken by using just the tip of the knife. Don’t cut through the skin; we just want to cut off some of the tendons so when you pan-fried the chicken, it doesn’t shrink and bulge up too much.
Season the chicken with salt, Black pepper, five-spice powder, rice wine, garlic slices, ginger slices, crushed 2 scallions, and 1/4 tsp of baking soda. Mix well. This needs to marinate for at least 30 minutes, the longer, the better.
While waiting, we can prepare the sauce. In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp of honey, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of rice wine. Mix well. You can replace the rice wine with water if you can’t cook with alcohol.
Preheat the cast-iron skillet for a minute. Switch the heat to medium or medium-low. Add some oil and swirl the oil around.
Remove all the aromatics from the chicken. Place it into the frying pan skin-side down. Cover with a lid to create some steam so you can cook the top part of the chicken. It will take about 5-6 minutes for the skin to become nice and golden.
Flip it to fry the other side for a couple of minutes. Pour in the sauce. The rice wine will evaporate fast as soon as it hits the hot pan so the final dish will not taste like alcohol.
Let the chicken simmer in that sauce for a minute or 2 so it can absorb the flavor. Take the meat out. Let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
The sauce contains honey so it will naturally thicken into the syrup texture. Pour it into a small bowl.
Slice the chicken and place it on top of white rice. Serve with some blanched vegetables on the side. Drizzle honey glaze sauce over. Sprinkle some sesame seeds for the nutty taste. Top a little bit diced scallions as garnish.
