Ingredients

• 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions , plus more for garnish
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2/3 cup teriyaki sauce , divided, plus more for drizzling
• 4 cups cooked and cooled white rice , divided
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
• 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Stir together scallions, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, salt, and 1/3 cup of the teriyaki sauce in a small bowl until combined.
3. Stir together 2 cups of the rice and 2 tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce mixture in a medium bowl. Add oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet. Add rice mixture to skillet and use a flat spatula to flatten it into an even layer and cover the bottom of the skillet.
4. Stir together remaining 2 cups rice and remaining 6 tablespoons teriyaki sauce mixture until rice is completely coated. Spoon rice mixture onto the rice in skillet. Use a flat spatula to press rice down and flatten, ensuring there are no gaps.
5. Cook over medium, uncovered, pressing rice down occasionally, until it sizzles and begins to brown and crisp along edges of skillet , 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
6. Place a large plate upside down over the skillet. Holding both firmly, flip the skillet over so rice is on the plate. Gently slide rice back into skillet, using a flat spatula to push if needed. Cook over medium until a crust begins to form and edges are crisp, 5 to 6 minutes.
7. While rice is cooking, stir together shredded chicken and remaining 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce in a small skillet. Cook over medium until chicken is warmed through, about 2 minutes.
8. Slide crispy rice onto a large plate. Top rice with chicken, sesame seeds, and scallions. Drizzle with more teriyaki sauce.
