Baked Teriyaki Chicken Thighs Recipes

BAKED TERIYAKI CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Add the chicken, avocado oil, teriyaki sauce (or coconut aminos) and garlic to a zip lock bag and seal. Note: if using coconut aminos instead of teriyaki sauce, or if your teriyaki sauce doesn't have a lot of salt in it, you may consider adding some sea salt too!) Move the contents of the bag around until everything is well-distributed and chicken is saturated with coconut aminos.
• Refrigerate at least one hour, up to 24 hours (I allow mine to marinate overnight).
• When you're ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Transfer the chicken (including the marinade) to a large casserole dish, leaving the chicken in a single layer.
• Bake for 40 minutes then increase the oven temperature to 420 degrees F and bake another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
• Serve with your choice of side dishes, and enjoy!

OVEN-BAKED TERIYAKI CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pineapple juice, soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, cornstarch, ginger, and garlic; stir to combine. Bring to a boil and stir well. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until sauce is reduced, about 5 minutes.
• Place chicken thighs in an oven-safe casserole dish. Pour 1/2 of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken thighs.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, basting thighs every 10 minutes with the remaining sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds.
