Ingredients

For 4 servings

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic to make the teriyaki sauce.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 6-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
  3. Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour the teriyaki sauce into the pan and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes, basting the chicken frequently, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Slice the chicken thighs against the grain. Drizzle with the remaining glaze from the pan and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve over steamed rice.
