If you're craving the savory sweetness of Panda Express Teriyaki Chicken but prefer to make it at home, this copycat recipe is exactly what you need. It's a simple yet delicious way to recreate a favorite that pairs perfectly with a bowl of fluffy rice, making for a satisfying meal any day of the week.
Pat dry the chicken thighs with kitchen towels and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high and add the oil. Add the chicken once it's hot and cook until browned on both sides.
Combine the sugar, soy sauce, water, garlic powder, ground ginger, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix until well dissolved.
Once the chicken is golden on both sides, add the sauce and mix well. Cook for a few minutes, or until it thickens. Let it sit for a few minutes and slice.
Serve the chicken with white rice, scallions, and sesame seeds.
