🌸 About the Dish

The Japanese Chicken Roast is a comforting and elegant dish that reflects Japan’s dedication to balance and simplicity. Coated in a luscious teriyaki glaze made from soy sauce, mirin, sake, and honey, this roasted chicken captures the essence of umami. The result? A glossy, caramelized surface with a juicy, tender interior that melts in your mouth. Served alongside miso soup and pickled vegetables, this dish offers the perfect Japanese dining experience — humble, beautiful, and full of soul.

🍶 Ingredients (for 4 servings)

For the Chicken Roast:

1 whole chicken (about 1.2 kg), cleaned and patted dry

4 tbsp soy sauce

3 tbsp mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)

2 tbsp sake (or white wine substitute)

2 tbsp honey or brown sugar

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 tsp grated ginger

1 tbsp sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp cornstarch (optional for thickening glaze)

For the Sides:

Steamed Japanese short-grain rice 🍚

Miso soup (with tofu, wakame, and green onions) 🍲

Japanese pickled vegetables (tsukemono) 🥒

🔥 Cooking Process

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. This creates a rich, glossy teriyaki base that will both marinate and glaze the chicken.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken
Place the cleaned chicken in a zip-lock bag or bowl and pour in the teriyaki mixture. Marinate for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor penetration.

Step 3: Roast the Chicken
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and place it on a roasting rack. Roast for about 50–60 minutes, basting with leftover teriyaki sauce every 15 minutes for that signature glossy finish.

Step 4: Prepare the Glaze
Simmer the remaining marinade in a small saucepan until thickened (add cornstarch slurry if needed). Brush this final glaze generously over the roasted chicken.

Step 5: Slice & Serve
With a sharp knife, make an elegant fast slice through the chicken — letting the teriyaki glaze drip slowly, highlighting the AR Foods engraving on the blade. Plate with steamed rice, miso soup, and pickled vegetables, then garnish with sesame seeds and chopped spring onions.

🌿 Chef’s Tips by AR Foods:

For extra crispiness, finish under the broiler for 2–3 minutes.

You can substitute chicken thighs for a quicker version.

Pair with green tea or cold sake for an authentic dining experience.

Add a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds or a drizzle of extra glaze for presentation.
