Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water (cold)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar in a bowl. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover, then marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 3

Preheat your Nuwave oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and set the marinade aside. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear in the oven.

Step 5

Place the chicken on the Nuwave oven rack with the skin-side up. Cook for 15 minutes on one side.

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering marinade, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to a glaze-like consistency. Remove from heat.

Step 8

After 15 minutes of cooking, flip the chicken thighs and brush them generously with the thickened teriyaki glaze. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 9

Once cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C), remove the chicken from the Nuwave oven. Let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.

Step 10

Slice the chicken and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. Serve with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
