Description

Juicy, savory, and coated in a glossy homemade glaze, these Delicious Bone In Teriyaki Chicken Thighs are tender, flavorful, and perfect for an easy dinner with rice or vegetables.

Ingredients

6 bone in chicken thighs

1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season lightly with black pepper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.

3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin side down for 4 to 5 minutes until golden. Flip and cook 2 minutes more.

4. Pour the teriyaki sauce around the chicken and let it simmer for 1 minute.

5. Transfer the skillet to a 400°F oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F internally.

6. Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place the skillet over medium heat. Stir in the slurry and cook until the sauce thickens.

7. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Notes

For crispier skin, make sure the chicken is very dry before searing.

Use low sodium soy sauce so the glaze stays balanced and not too salty.

Let the sauce thicken fully before returning the chicken so it clings better to each piece.
