Teriyaki Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine the reserved marinade, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the cooked chicken and drizzle with the thickened teriyaki sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
