How To Make teriyaki sesame seed chicken thighs

Step 1

Rinse chicken thighs and remove visible fat. In a large Ziploc bag, combine sesame seed oil, soy sauce, Agave Nectar, rice wine vinegar, garlic, cornstarch and water. Then add chicken thighs. Marinade overnight or 2 hours or so before cooking.

Step 2

Preheat oven 400° degrees, remove chicken thighs from marinade and place them on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until golden brown. Then remove from oven and let rest for about 5 - 10 minutes.
Step 3

While thighs are cooking, to make teriyaki sauce, in a small sauce pan add honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sherry, ginger and Hoisin sauce and let simmer for about 3 - 5 minutes over medium heat until the sauce becomes glossy and caramelized. Remove from heat and set a side.
Step 4

After thighs have rested, slice in strips and place in serving dish and pour Teriyaki sauce over sliced thighs, garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve with white or brown rice.
Step 5

My Pantry Tip One thing I do when my shopping is complete on the weekends. I prep all of my fresh herbs for my meals. Example - I will wash my scallions and let them air dry on a paper towel. Once they are dried, I diced them and put them in a plastic container lined with paper towel to absorbed moisture and place them on my refrigerator door. The will keep for about a week.
