  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 2 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Freshly Grated Ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, water, finely minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger. Ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs in a large resealable bag and pour in half of the teriyaki marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
  3. Preheat your grill to a high setting about 15 minutes before cooking.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Brush the reserved teriyaki sauce on the chicken as it cooks.
  5. After cooking, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice the chicken and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
