Baked Teriyaki Chicken

This teriyaki chicken recipe uses a homemade teriyaki sauce to glaze chicken thighs that are baked in the oven for the most delicious sticky chicken. This is a much-requested recipe in our house! Easy to double for a large group.

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

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Combine sugar, soy sauce, cider vinegar, cornstarch, cold water, garlic, ginger, and pepper in a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer, stirring frequently, until teriyaki sauce thickens and bubbles, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Place chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish. Brush both sides of each thigh with the sauce. Reserve any extra sauce for basting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Flip chicken and brush with sauce. Continue to bake, basting with remaining sauce every 10 minutes, until no longer pink and juices run clear, 20 to 30 more minutes.
Serve hot and enjoy!
