Teriyaki Delight image

A good teriyaki sauce gives grilled chicken a rich auburn color. My homemade version includes just the right amount of ginger to give it an equally appealing taste. While you can also use boneless breasts for this recipe, boneless thighs stay moister during grilling.

Time 4h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

MARINADE:
1/4 c ketchup
1/4 c hoisin sauce
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp fresh garlic, minced
2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
2 tsp dark sesame oil
TERIYAKI CHICKEN:
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 4 ounces each)
sesame seeds, toasted in a skillet
cooked rice
scallion tops, cut into 2-inch-long strips (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Place the chicken thighs in a gallon-size zip-lock bag and add the marinade ingredients. Press the air out of the bag and seal it. Turn the bag to thoroughly coat the chicken, then place it in a bowl and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), turning the bag occasionally. Remove the meat from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling.
  • 2. Prepare a charcoal fire or set a gas grill to medium-high, close the lid, and heat until hot -- about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • 3. Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade. Grill the thighs until they are no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side on a gas grill.
  • 4. Transfer the thighs to a cutting board and let them rest for about 5 minutes, then slice each piece at a diagonal. Sprinkle on the toasted sesame seeds. Serve over rice, garnished, if you like, with scallion strips. Serves 6 to 8.

I'm always trying to find ways to make healthier versions of my favorite dishes, and this one is a great example. The chicken is grilled instead of fried, and the teriyaki sauce is made with reduced-sodium soy sauce. It's still just as delicious, but
