Teriyaki chicken

You've decided that this is your favourite chicken dish ever. I predict we'll be eating it again...

Makes enough for three. You'll need:

6-8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (chopped into chunks)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine
2/3 tablespoon dark brown sugar

Sling the soy sauce, rice wine and dark brown sugar into a small saucepan, and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Tip over the chicken, and leave to marinade (for half an hour or so - depends on how hungry you are).

Turn your grill up high, and leave to get hot. Tip the chicken pieces (and the rest of the marinade) into an ovenproof dish (I lined mine with foil in a bid to make it easier to clean afterwards, but the chicken just stuck to the foil, which then stuck to the dish...) and put under the grill. Turn after 5 minutes or so - and then leave for another 5 minutes. Your chicken is ready once it's glazed and browned (and no longer pink in the middle). You can make it even more fancy by sprinkling with a few sesame seeds...

We ate ours with some noodles cooked with ginger, garlic, red pepper and onion, but it would also go well with steamed rice.
