Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 4 cups Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and cut them into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the teriyaki sauce. Set aside.
In another small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary.
Once all the chicken pieces are cooked, return them to the skillet and pour the teriyaki sauce over the top.
Reduce the heat to medium and allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to coat the chicken evenly.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot over cooked white rice, or enjoy as-is for a delicious appetizer.
