Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken Thighs Use bone-in, skin-on thighs for maximum flavor and juiciness.
For the Teriyaki Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Soy Sauce Try using light soy sauce for a balanced taste.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Opt for brown sugar for a richer flavor profile.
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic Mince finely for the best flavor release.
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Ginger Finely mince or grate for maximum impact.
For Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons Oil (Canola or Avocado) Use oils with a high smoke point for a perfect sear.

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp skin when cooked.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil.
  4. Carefully place the chicken thighs in the skillet skin-side down, and cook them undisturbed for about 4–5 minutes until they are deeply golden and crispy.
  5. Once the chicken is well-seared, gently flip each thigh and reduce the heat to medium, cooking for an additional 5–7 minutes.
  6. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce around the chicken thighs in the skillet, and let it simmer for a minute before serving.
