Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients.

- Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Arrange the chicken in a single layer and cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Notes
Recipe Notes:
- Variations - If you lack mirin, substitute it with rice vinegar and adjust it by adding a touch more brown sugar for sweetness.
- For grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 350°F). Oil the grill grates, then grill the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- To air fry, lightly spray the fryer basket with oil or use an air fryer liner. Cook the chicken in a single layer at 400°F for approximately 10 minutes, flipping it halfway through.
