Teriyaki Chicken Ingredients
Method
Teriyaki Chicken Directions
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until the sugar is dissolved.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cook the Chicken
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add to the skillet. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

Prepare the Sauce
While the chicken is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth, then add to the saucepan. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Finish the Dish
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and slice it. Drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the sliced chicken. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions before serving.
