Baked Teriyaki Chicken
Description
This dish starts by preparing a teriyaki sauce where cornstarch acts as a thickener alongside sugar, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and ground ginger, heated until slightly thickened. Chicken thighs with skin and bone are added skin-side down to the skillet, allowing the sauce to coat and caramelize on the skin while baking in the oven.
Baking at 375°F ensures the chicken cooks evenly while the sauce thickens and clings to the meat, imparting a balanced combination of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors with aromatic ginger and garlic notes. Turning the thighs halfway promotes uniform cooking and glaze development.
The finished chicken can be served with rice or steamed vegetables to complement the rich, sticky sauce and tender meat.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or one clove minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 4 chicken thighs bone in and skin on
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large skillet whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger then turn on the heat to medium and continue whisking until the sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the chicken thighs skin side down, move the pan to the oven, cook for 30 minutes then turn over and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
