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)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and cut them into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the teriyaki sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

In another small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Once all the chicken pieces are cooked, return them to the skillet and pour the teriyaki sauce over the top.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium and allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 8

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot over cooked white rice, or enjoy as-is for a delicious appetizer.
