A deliciously sweet and savory teriyaki chicken recipe that’s easy to make at home with a homemade teriyaki sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs

Instructions

  1. Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger in a bowl to create the teriyaki sauce.

  3. Add the chicken thighs and sear until golden brown, about 6 minutes each side.
  4. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, bringing it to a simmer.
