– 1 cup water for making a smooth slurry
– 1/3 cup brown sugar for sweetness and gloss
– 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce for salty, savory teriyaki flavor
– 2 cloves garlic, minced for strong, tasty base
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar for tang
– 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced for warm, bright flavor
– 1 tablespoon honey for deepening sweetness
– 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil for nutty aroma
– sesame seeds and chopped green onion for crunch, color, and fresh finish
Notes
🍗 Opt for chicken thighs over breasts for extra juiciness and flavor.
