4 1lbboneless chicken breasts or thighs 4Tsoy sauce 4Tmirin 1Tsugar 0.333333cwater 1Tvegetable oil In a bowl or square pan, combine soy sauce and mirin. Marinate the chicken breast or thighs for 20~30 minutes, turning over the meat every 10 mins. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium/high heat, and place chicken pieces so that they don't overlap (be careful, oil may spatter). Don't throw away marinade yet!! Cook one side until brown, and turn chicken pieces over (If you don't know how to use cooking chopsticks, I recommend using a fork rather than a spatula) While chicken is cooking, add water and sugar to remaining marinade. Mix well. Pour mixture into frying pan, and cover with a lid. Lower heat to medium, and let cook for about 7 minutes. Remove lid, continue cooking at medium heat, turning chicken pieces over while the water evaporates and the sauce thickens. Don't stop cooking the chicken until the sauce has "glazed" the chicken (about 5~7 minutes). Soy sauce and sugar burn quickly and easily, but don't be afraid. The burnt flavor is a large part of this dish's charm!
