INGREDIENTS
PREPARATION STEPS
Make the Yum Yum Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine the mayo, sesame oil, sriracha, garlic powder, and white sugar. Mix well until smooth. Adjust the sriracha to your desired spice level. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
Prepare the Chicken:
Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the Chicken:
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of salted butter over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Flavor:
Once the chicken is cooked, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine and let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve:
Remove from heat and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil and butter for extra flavor.
Serve the hibachi chicken hot with a side of rice or vegetables, and drizzle with the Yum Yum Sauce.
