2 each Boneless Chicken Thighs with Skin
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
3 tbsp Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Mirin
1 tbsp Brown Sugar
1 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Sake No alcoholic drinks allowed, please substitute with a non-alcoholic option.
1 tbsp fresh grated Ginger
2 cloves grated Garlic

Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Once hot, place the chicken in the pan, skin side down, and pan-fry for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
In the same pan, pour in the teriyaki sauce mixture. Let it simmer for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Return the chicken to the pan and let it cook in the sauce for 4-6 minutes. Continuously pour the sauce over the chicken to coat it and prevent burning.
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds for an added crunch and flavor contrast.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Teriyaki Chicken Thighs!

For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for a few hours before cooking.
