Instructions

1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until smooth.

3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken thighs skin side down and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until deeply golden brown.

4. Flip the chicken and cook the other side for 4 minutes.

5. Pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet around the chicken and lower the heat to medium-low.

6. Simmer for 18 to 22 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally and spooning sauce over the top, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened into a glossy glaze.

7. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

8. Serve hot over cooked white rice with extra sauce spooned on top.

Notes

Patting the chicken dry helps the skin brown better and keeps it from steaming in the pan.

If the sauce thickens too much before the chicken finishes cooking, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water.

For even more flavor, let the chicken rest in the sauce for a few minutes before serving.
