Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F and arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on a sheet pan.

  2. Step 2

    Brush each thigh generously with teriyaki sauce, coating skin and sides.

  3. Step 3

    Roast for 18–20 minutes until skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F in the thickest part.

  4. Step 4

    Brush with a second coat of teriyaki sauce straight from the oven, then sprinkle sesame seeds over the top while skin is still hot.

  5. Step 5

    Rest 2 minutes, then serve immediately.
