Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  2. Step 2

    Sear chicken skin-side down 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook 4 more minutes until cooked through.

  3. Step 3

    Mix soy sauce, minced garlic, sugar, mirin, and vinegar in a small bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Pour sauce over chicken and toss to coat, cooking for 2 minutes until glossy and caramelized.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer chicken to a plate. Crack both eggs into the skillet and fry until whites set but yolks still jiggle.

  6. Step 6

    Serve chicken and fried egg over steamed rice. Drizzle any pan sauce over the top.
