BROILED TERIYAKI CHICKEN THIGHS

Broiled Teriyaki Chicken Thighs image

Make your own teriyaki sauce and marinate these chicken thighs before they go under the broiler. The marinade safely boils to become the base for a tasty glaze as the thighs broil. Serve with sides of fluffy steamed rice and some sauteed zucchini or snow peas for a delicious, quick dinner.

Ingredients

1 cup coconut aminos
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar, or more to taste
2 teaspoons grated ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons water
3 cups cooked rice
1 sliced green onions
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

Combine coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a 1-gallon resealable bag. Carefully squeeze the bag to mix the contents. Add chicken thighs and refrigerate for 3 hours.
Place an oven rack near the top of the oven, so the chicken will be about 4 inches from the broiler element. Preheat the broiler.
Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. Remove chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing excess to drip into the bag, and reserve. Place chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared pan.
Broil for 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
While chicken is under the broiler, pour the marinade into a 12-inch skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl, stirring until any lumps disappear. Add to the skillet, bring to a boil over medium heat, and stir constantly until thickened. Add broiled chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) is reached.
Serve with hot rice, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
