- Heat grill to medium-high heat, approximately 350°F-400°F.
- Place marinated chicken thighs on grill. Grill each side for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear.
- While the chicken is grilling, place the reserved teriyaki sauce in a small saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and water to a small bowl. Stir together to make a slurry and pour into the saucepan. Bring sauce to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring the entire time. Simmer until thickened. Remove from heat.
- Once the chicken thighs are removed from the grill. Immediately, brush them with thickened teriyaki sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
- To Store:Keep cooled chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. If you have leftover sauce, refrigerate it in a separate airtight container. Reheat chicken over a low-heat stove until warmed through, adding an extra splash of teriyaki sauce to keep it from drying out.
- To Freeze:Place cooled chicken into a heavy-duty freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Alternatively, store it in a freezer-safe container. Freeze extra sauce in a separate container for up to 3 months, leaving at least an inch of airspace so it can expand as it solidifies. Thaw out frozen sauce and chicken in the fridge before reheating.
