Teriyaki Chicken

Teriyaki chicken recipe...

Enjoy!

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
4 chicken thighs -- deboned, skin on
1/2 cup soy sauce (shoyu)
1/2 cup rice cooking wine (mirin)
1/2 cup sake
1 tsp grated ginger
2 tbsp sugar
a pinch of chili pepper (my addition)

RECIPE STEPS:
Mix the soy sauce, mirin and sake together. Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and pour enough of the mixture (say half of it) to coat the chicken well. Massage the ginger into the chicken as well. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
With the reserved teriyaki sauce, add the sugar and chili pepper. Pour into a small saucepan and bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat for a minute or so, until it reduces slightly. Set aside.
PAN-FRIED: Bring a pan to high heat with a little oil. Place chicken, skin side down, and brown for a few minutes. Lower the heat. Flip the chicken over, place a cover on it and let cook for another 8-10 minutes. Add some of the reserved teriyaki sauce and stir to coat the chicken. Keep flipping and coating. Let the sauce thicken for a few minutes.
GRILLING: A grilling net works well for this, but if you don't have it, just place on top your grill or grill plate, coat with the reserved sauce, then cook for 8-10 minutes on each side. Glaze with additional sauce as it cooks.
If you like, you can slice the chicken into thin pieces, then serve atop rice or plate separately.

I know when you cook the alcohol cooks out, but when I cook with it I get very bad headaches even with the alcohol cooked out. Are there any substitutes to use in place of it?
