Teriyaki Chicken

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Thicken the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Add to the saucepan and stir until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place chicken thighs in a bowl. Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked, basting with additional teriyaki sauce as desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the grilled chicken thighs with the remaining teriyaki sauce drizzled on top and tempura vegetables on the side.
