Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees f/200 degrees c. Have ready a large baking tray.
  • Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • In a small glass, combine the two tablespoons of cornflour with about 2-3 tablespoons of the water. Stir well to combine and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan set over medium heat, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic and ginger. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer for about 2 minutes. Add all the water and bring to a boil. Pour in the cornflour mixture and stir until it thickens, about one minute. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
  • Set a large skillet over high heat and add the sesame oil. Add the chicken thighs and brown each side for about 2 minutes.
  • Place all the chicken thighs on the baking tray. Pour over about a half of the teriyaki sauce and make sure the chicken is all coated. Bake for about 20 minutes and remove from oven and pour over remaining sauce. Return to oven for a further 20 - 25 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle over sesame seeds if desired. Serve with fluffy white rice.
