Make your own teriyaki sauce and marinate these chicken thighs before they go under the broiler. The marinade safely boils to become the base for a tasty glaze as the thighs broil. Serve with sides of fluffy steamed rice and some sauteed zucchini or snow peas for a delicious, quick dinner.

Provided by Bibi

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 3h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup coconut aminos
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar, or more to taste
2 teaspoons grated ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons water
3 cups cooked rice
1 sliced green onions
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Combine coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a 1-gallon resealable bag. Carefully squeeze the bag to mix the contents. Add chicken thighs and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  • Place an oven rack near the top of the oven, so the chicken will be about 4 inches from the broiler element. Preheat the broiler.
  • Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. Remove chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing excess to drip into the bag, and reserve. Place chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared pan.
  • Broil for 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
  • While chicken is under the broiler, pour the marinade into a 12-inch skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl, stirring until any lumps disappear. Add to the skillet, bring to a boil over medium heat, and stir constantly until thickened. Add broiled chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) is reached.
  • Serve with hot rice, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs that are about the same size so that they cook evenly. If you don't have bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but they may not be as flavorful.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully thawed before cooking: If the chicken is frozen, it will not cook evenly. You can thaw the chicken in the refrigerator overnight, or you can thaw it in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: If you overcrowd the baking dish, the chicken will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between the chicken thighs so that they can circulate air.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done cooking when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken thigh, being careful not to touch the bone.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked teriyaki chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful teriyaki sauce and then baked until it is cooked through. The result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken dish that the whole family will love. Serve the chicken with rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
