Teriyaki Chicken
Report
Baked teriyaki chicken is easy to make, tender and juicy, and marinated in a sweet and savory homemade teriyaki sauce for chicken thighs or breasts that cooks in under 30 minutes.
Share:
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 pounds chicken thighs slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make a thinner cutlet, boneless, skinless, or boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Whisk the sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, cornstarch, and pepper in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a rolling simmer, stirring frequently, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat to cool.
- Place the chicken in freezer bags or shallow bowls with half to ¾ of the teriyaki sauce. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight. I find 2 hours gives great flavor.
- Bake in a 425°F oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and juices run clear. The temp will rise to 165°F as it rests. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken when serving.
Notes
- Be careful not to cook the teriyaki sauce for too long, otherwise, the sugars will crystallize and the sauce will become grainy.
- You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes up to overnight. I find 2 hours gives plenty of flavor.
- Choose chicken breasts cut lengthwise into cutlets to absorb plenty of flavor and cook quickly. Or, use chicken thighs for an extra moist, dark meat flavor. Or cook a combination of both!
