For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in half of the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, before baking. Serve with steamed rice and your favorite roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk together an additional teaspoon of cornstarch with one tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the sauce during the last few minutes of simmering.
