Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add it to the hot skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice sear.

  4. 4

    Make the Teriyaki Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. In the same skillet with the cooked chicken, pour in the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the chicken and drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot over cooked rice.
