Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
chicken:
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
glaze:
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 T lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
garnish:
- 4 scallions thinly sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can coat with non-stick spray. Arrange the chicken thighs in the pan so that they are close but not touching, skin side down.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Slowly whisk in cornstarch slurry into the mixture.
- Heat teriyaki sauce over medium high heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat until it can maintain a gentle boil and allow to cook about 2 minutes until the mixture just starts to thicken. Remove from heat.
- Remove about 3 tablespoons of the sauce and reserve for later. Pour remaining sauce over the chicken. Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, bake times may vary by thickness and initial temperature of the chicken.
- Brush the top of the chicken with the reserved sauce. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds. Serve with rice or noodles and a steamed vegetable.
