Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and honey (if using).
- Place chicken thighs in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over and coat well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium and lightly oil the surface.
- Grill chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, until browned and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- In the last 2 minutes, brush chicken with extra marinade for a glossy finish.
- Transfer to a cutting board, let rest 5 minutes, then slice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
For a low-carb version, skip the honey and serve with cauliflower rice or lettuce cups. Avoid over-marinating beyond 4 hours.
