Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
Sesame seeds for garnish
Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the reserved marinade and bring to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce thickens.
Glaze the Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it with the thickened sauce.
Serve: Slice the chicken and serve it over rice, drizzled with extra teriyaki sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
