Instructions
Creating Teriyaki Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
3. Thicken the Sauce: In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this to the saucepan and stir continuously until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the chicken evenly.
6. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
7. Rest the Chicken: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing for serving.
Following these steps will guide you to a successful Teriyaki Chicken experience.
