Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken skin-side down for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer.
Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry; add this to the sauce and cook until thickened.
Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the seared chicken thighs and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
Brush remaining sauce over cooked thighs before serving.
