Ingredients

4-5 medium sized Chicken Thighs or about 6 oz per person
1 cup Soy Sauce
¼ cup Brown Sugar
¼ cup Avocado Oil
¼ cup Green Onions sliced
2 teaspoon Ginger Powder or 2" fresh ginger, sliced
2 teaspoon Garlic minced
1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds

Instructions

Terikayi Chicken Marinade

In a gallon freezer bag, add the chicken, soy sauce, brown sugar, oil, green onions, ginger, and minced garlic. Let the chicken sit in the marinade for 2-24 hours in the fridge.

How to Grill Teriyaki Chicken

Preheat the grill to about 335 degrees. (Note: It's best to cook it a little slower than normal so the sugar in the marinade doesn't burn)
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken gets golden brown and is easy to lift (Note: if the chicken sticks, let it cook longer). Flip the chicken over using tongs and continue to cook until almost golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.
Once the chicken has finished cooking, remove from the grill and place on a plate or platter. Allow to rest for 5 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
To serve, sprinkle with sesame seeds and a drizzle of teriyaki sauce if desired. Enjoy!

Teriyaki Sauce

To make teriyaki sauce, strain any leftover marinade to remove the green onions. Place in a saucepan and bring to a rapid boil. Continue to boil for 5 minutes, then use immediately or reserve.
