Juicy baked chicken thighs coated in a rich, glossy homemade teriyaki glaze that’s savory, slightly sweet, and deeply satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the baking dish and season lightly with salt if desired.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water, then stir it into the saucepan.
  6. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
  7. Pour the teriyaki sauce evenly over the chicken thighs.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes, spooning sauce over the chicken halfway through cooking.
  9. Remove from the oven once chicken is cooked through and tender.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a deeper glaze if desired.
  • Sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust sweetness by reducing honey or brown sugar.
