📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A creative dish combining the Japanese teriyaki technique of glazing with a sweet-savory sauce with the saltiness and savoriness of fish sauce used in Thai home cooking. The sauce comes together with just fish sauce, honey, and garlic, for crisp, golden skin and an Southeast Asian aroma. Ingredients are kept to a minimum so it can be made with things you're likely to have at home.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a weeknight with just one chicken thigh in the fridge, a home kitchen fills with a sweet-salty aroma from a single frying pan.

🥕 Ingredients (serves 2)

Chicken Thigh 1 sheet (300g)
Garlic 1 clove
Fish sauce 1 tbsp
Honey 1 tbsp
Vegetable oil 1 tsp
Black Pepper A pinch

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Score the thick parts of the chicken thigh to even the thickness and sprinkle with pepper.
Mix the fish sauce, honey, and grated garlic to make a sauce.
Heat oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken skin side down over medium heat for 6 minutes, then flip and cook 4 minutes.
Wipe off excess fat, add the sauce, and cook until glossy and coated.
Cut into easy-to-eat pieces, plate, and pour over the remaining sauce.
