Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinate the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Mix well until sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a 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 2 hours.

Cook the Chicken

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown.

  3. 5

    Thicken the Sauce

    While the chicken is cooking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes or until it thickens slightly.

Serve

  1. 6

    Serve the Chicken

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and cut it into slices. Drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the chicken.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Enjoy

    Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for garnish. Serve hot with steamed rice or vegetables.
