2/3 c. Kikkoman soy sauce
1/3 c. Kikkoman Aji Mirin or sherry
2/3 c. water
1/3 c. sugar
1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger
Dash of garlic (optional)
Chicken (fryer parts)

Combine all ingredients, except chicken, in a large (14 inch) skillet. Bring to a rolling boil. Add chicken parts, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes until done, turning occasionally. Serve with steamed rice.

NOTE: Bringing sauce to a full boil first will make chicken shiny and pretty.

For an added treat, boil potato chunks in the leftover sauce. (You may need to add a small amount of water.)
