Sticky Teriyaki Chicken Recipe ✨ Glossy, sticky homemade teriyaki chicken made with chicken thighs and a homemade teriyaki sauce. This is so good over rice, fried rice, noodles, or inside pineapple bowls. Ingredients Chicken * 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces * 1 tbsp soy sauce * 1 tbsp oil * 1 tsp garlic powder * 1/2 tsp onion powder * 1/2 tsp black pepper Teriyaki Sauce * 1/2 cup soy sauce * 1/3 cup brown sugar * 2 tbsp honey * 2 tbsp pineapple juice or orange juice, optional * 1 tbsp rice vinegar * 2 garlic cloves, minced * 1 tsp fresh grated ginger, or 1/2 tsp ground ginger * 1 tsp sesame oil Slurry * 2 tsp cornstarch * 2 tbsp cold water Garnish * Sesame seeds * Sliced green onions Directions 1. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and pat dry with paper towels. 2. Add the chicken to a bowl with soy sauce, oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for 15–30 minutes. 3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil. 4. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes without moving it, so it can brown. 5. Flip and continue cooking until the chicken is browned and cooked through. 6. In a separate pot, add soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, pineapple juice or orange juice if using, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. 7. Turn the heat to medium-high and stir everything together. Let the teriyaki sauce simmer until the sugar dissolves and the sauce starts to slightly thicken. 8. In a small container, mix the cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry. 9. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the teriyaki sauce while stirring. Let the sauce simmer again until it becomes thicker, glossy, and smooth. 10. Once the sauce reaches a good consistency, pour it into the pan with the cooked chicken. 11. Toss the chicken in the sauce until every piece is coated. 12. Let the chicken simmer in the teriyaki sauce for a few more minutes, until the sauce thickens more and becomes sticky. 13. Turn off the heat and top with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. 14. Serve over rice, fried rice, noodles, or inside pineapple bowls 🔥 #teriyakichicken #teriyaki #EasyRecipe #homecooking #foodidea
