This sweet and savory chicken teriyaki makes for an easy dinner with classic Japanese flair. Serve with steamed rice and roasted broccoli to make it a meal.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1¼ cups brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons minced ginger
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1½ tablespoons sesame oil
- Vegetable oil, for seasoning grill
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Preparation
Remove any excess fat from the chicken thighs.
To make the teriyaki sauce, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a work bowl, whisking until the brown sugar is dissolved. Transfer half of the teriyaki sauce to a sauce pot and reduce by one quarter, then set aside.
Marinate chicken with remaining unreduced teriyaki sauce for 1 hour.
Heat grill to medium-high heat and season with vegetable oil. Place marinated chicken on the grill and discard the marinade. Grill each chicken thigh for 7–8 minutes per side.
Slice chicken thighs into strips, top with reduced teriyaki sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds.
