I made this one back in May and I didn’t take notes. All I can remember is that we hosted my friend Kevin and it was a weeknight. This was a good choice for a weeknight because it was only supposed to take a little over an hour to prepare and I marinated the chicken the night before.

I went in a bulgogi direction–to the marinade I added some apples, mirin, and extra garlic.

The result was a beautifully colored and crispy skin.

The photo doesn’t really do it justice.

This dinner, with the crinkle-cut carrots and the pears in Jell-O, had a very school cafeteria feel to it.

I don’t mean that as a put down.

I couldn’t find butterscotch brownies, but I did find blondies topped with coconut, nuts, and butterscotch chips. OMG. So. Damn. Good.

The thing most memorable about this dinner is that at every mention of chicken teriyaki, Mr. Sauce Esq. would yell at me CHICKEN TERIYAKI BOYYYYY!

  • OMG... You are SO FUNNY! Teriyaki BOYYYYYY! HA! I gotta hand it to ya, Yinz., you do make all the retro dinners look Very Enticing - including this one! Even won me over with the hidden pear in green Jell-O. You know, I used to love lime green Jell-O, but stopped eating it after I heard (on the news one night in the mid '70's ) that some scientist placed electrodes on a blob of lime green Jell-O and confirmed that brain waves were being emitted -similar in frequency to a human. Eww, gross, I thought.. anyway, the crispness you attained on that chicken is Beyond! Looks like the crispy exterior on a Peking Duck! Well Done, Yinzerella!
