Ingredients

  • 4-5 medium Chicken Thighs
  • 1 cup Soy Sauce
  • ¼ cup Green Onions thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger Powder
  • teaspoons Garlic minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Cold Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Green onions
  • 2 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds garnish

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl,  add the soy sauce, green onions, brown sugar, avocado oil, ginger powder, and minced garlic. Mix until combined. 
  • Add the chicken thighs to the crock pot, then pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken.
  • Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.  To check for doneness, use a meat thermometer to make sure your chicken reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest spot. 
  • To thicken the teriyaki sauce slightly, remove from the crockpot and transfer to a small saucepot. Heat over medium until it boils. In a separate bowl, combine the cold water and cornstarch and whisk well. Slowly add the slurry to the sauce and simmer until thickened.
  • Serve teriyaki chicken thighs over rice or steamed veggies with the teriyaki sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
