Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped For garnish before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to make the teriyaki marinade.
  3. Place chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  2. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

Notes

For better flavor, marinate the chicken thighs overnight if you have time. You can use skin-on chicken thighs for extra juiciness. If desired, add red pepper flakes for heat.
