Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 cup cider vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Place chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish. Brush both sides of each thigh with the sauce. Reserve any extra sauce for basting.

Step 5

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.
