Savory Teriyaki Chicken Delight

Ingredients:😋
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup mirin
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions:😋
Marinate the Chicken:
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
Place the chicken thighs into a resealable bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
Bake the Chicken:
3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade and arrange it in a baking dish. Reserve the marinade for later use.
4. Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Prepare the Sauce:
5. While the chicken bakes, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.
6. Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the simmering marinade, cooking until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Serve and Enjoy:
7. Drizzle the rich teriyaki sauce over the baked chicken. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a vibrant finish.
