Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium saucepan, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, cornstarch, ginger, and garlic. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to a beautiful glaze, about 5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Arrange chicken thighs in a single layer in an oven-safe casserole dish. Pour half of the teriyaki sauce evenly over the chicken. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, basting the chicken thighs every 10 minutes with the remaining teriyaki sauce to ensure a rich, glossy finish. (Cook time: 30 minutes)

06

Step

Remove from oven and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving. (Prep time: 1 minute)

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.

    My family absolutely loved this! The chicken was so tender and flavorful. I added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little kick.
