Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chicken thighs with chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Ensure internal temperature of 165°F.
  3. In the same skillet, add soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Boil salted water in a separate pot. Cook udon noodles according to package instructions for 4-5 minutes. Reserve cooking water before draining.
  5. In the skillet with teriyaki sauce, add butter. Once melted, stir in garlic and sauté until fragrant, then mix in cream and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet and toss gently until evenly coated. Adjust sauce consistency with reserved pasta water as needed.
  7. Plate the dish by twirling the creamy garlic noodles into bowls, topping with teriyaki chicken and sprinkling green onions and sesame seeds.
