Teriyaki Chicken Thighs

I can't believe it but I've had this recipe for 2 years. To actually hold on to the paper that long ... wow. Originally came from FoodTv - Ellie Krieger, I believe, but of course, modified to suit our taste.


1/2 cup soy sauce (I use the super thick stuff)
3 tbs brown sugar
4 tbs sherry
4 tbs rice wine vinegar
1 tbs sesame oil
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1 large piece (about the size of the garlic)ginger, grated
dash of red pepper flakes (to taste)
sesame seeds (optional)
2 pks of b/s chix thighs (I generally use costco brand and there are 5per pack but lately have been doing the bone in thighs for cost reasons.)

Mix marinade all together, pour over the top of chicken in baking dish. Let marinate in fridge for 1 to 8 hours.

Heat oven to 375, bake covered for about an hour (we like our chicken well done, and thighs really do need to cook longer). Take foil off around last 15 minutes, sprinkle with sesame seeds & cook til chicken & seeds are golden (don't burn the seeds!)

Make the sesame noodles to go along and enjoy!
