Chicken Teriyaki

Our family loves chicken teriyaki so when we found a keeper, I had to put it on the website for safe keeping.

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs 2.5 boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 3/4 cups soy sauce
  • 1/3 cups packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 4 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Steamed Broccoli (optional)
  • Steamed white rice (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Place the chicken in a resealable plastic zip-top bag.
  2. 2
    In a large glass measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons water, vinegar, honey, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, and pepper until the sugar is dissolved. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, reserving the remaining marinade. Seal the bag of chicken, turning to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
  3. 3
    Remove the chicken from the marinade; pat dry. Discard this marinade.
  4. 4
    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium.
  5. 5
    In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons of water with the cornstarch. Add to the reserved marinade. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet over the cooked chicken. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with the green onion and sesame seeds. Serve hot with broccoli and rice, if you like.
