Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the white sugar, soy sauce, cider vinegar, cornstarch, cold water, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper. Stir frequently and let the mixture simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, until it thickens and begins to bubble. Remove from heat.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish. Brush both sides of each piece with the teriyaki sauce. Save any extra sauce for later basting.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Flip the chicken and brush again with sauce. Continue baking for another 20 to 30 minutes. Baste with the remaining sauce every 10 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear.
  6. Serve hot.
