Ingredients
- •Cornstarch(30g)
- •Brown sugar(120g)
- •Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(80g)
- •Honey(10g)
- •Ginger, Fresh Root(1g)
- •Garlic powder(1g)
- •Chicken Thigh, Boneless Skinless(1361g)
Boneless skinless thighs. Fattier than breast but more forgiving to cook.
- •2 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
- 1In a small saucepan, combine the cornstarch with 1 cup of cold water. Whisk in the brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes. Reserve about ⅓ cup of the sauce for serving.
- 2Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and season all over with the salt. In a large bowl, combine the chicken with the remaining teriyaki sauce and toss until well-coated.
- 3Preheat the grill on high. Transfer the chicken to the grill, allowing any excess to drip off. Reduce the heat to medium-high, cover the grill, and cook for 5 minutes, or until char marks appear. Flip, baste with any remaining sauce in the bowl, and cook, turning and basting occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, 7 to 8 minutes more.
- 4Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and drizzle with the reserved sauce. Let rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
