Sarah's Teriyaki Chicken

Mix marinade ingredients:

1 cup sugar

1 cup soy sauce

1 clove garlic, minced

1 Tbs. grated ginger

1 Tbs. Shillings sweet pepper flakes (optional)

2 Tbs. mirin 

1 Tbs. sesame oil

Marinate chicken thighs (12 or so?) overnight.

Grill.  Serve with rice.

(You could also try pan-frying, broiling, or baking.)

Boil extra marinade to kill raw chicken bacteria, then use as sauce with the chicken and rice.

Extra chicken makes a great addition to fried rice.
