1. Turn on the broiler and position the rack about 4 inches below the heat. Combine the soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat so the sauce bubbles steadily and cook, stirring once or twice, until it thickens. Stir in the lemon zest and remove from the heat; pour off half the sauce and reserve for serving.
2. Broil the chicken, basting frequently with the remaining sauce and turning the chicken every 2 or 3 minutes, until browned all over and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Make a small cut and check; the center should be no longer raw but still juicy. Give the meat one final baste and serve hot or at room temperature with the reserved sauce.
