Teriyaki Glazed Chicken Thighs
Glazed teriyaki chicken thighs with sesame seeds cooked in microwave served with rice.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Whisk together teriyaki sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic in a shallow microwave-safe dish
Add chicken thighs and turn to coat thoroughly
Arrange in single layer without overlapping
Cover with vented lid
Microwave on 80% power for 5 minutes
Flip chicken and spoon sauce over top
Microwave on 80% power for another 4-5 minutes until fully cooked
Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving
Notes
Why this works: Thighs have more fat than breasts, so they stay moist even with microwave cooking.
