Baked Teriyaki Chicken Thighs
- Bake the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Cook the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Baste During Baking: About halfway through the baking time, baste the chicken with the reserved marinade to keep it moist and flavorful.
Tips & Tricks
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: For the best flavor, marinate the chicken thighs overnight. This allows the chicken to absorb all the delicious flavors of the marinade.
- Even Coating: Make sure the chicken thighs are evenly coated with the marinade. You can occasionally flip the bag or stir the chicken in the dish to ensure every piece gets marinated well.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and ginger will give a more vibrant and authentic flavor compared to powdered versions.
- Line Your Baking Sheet: Use parchment paper or aluminum foil to line your baking sheet for easy cleanup. This also helps prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Baste for Extra Flavor: Basting the chicken with the marinade halfway through baking helps to keep the chicken moist and enhances the flavor.
- Check Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Broil for a Crispy Finish: If you like a bit of char and crispiness, broil the chicken thighs for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Rest Before Serving: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Garnish for Extra Flair: Garnishing with sesame seeds and sliced green onions adds a nice touch of color and extra flavor.
