Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 4 chicken legs
  • 2 carrots (peeled and sliced on the diagonal, approx. 1/2 “ thick)
  • 1 cup broccoli
  • 1 cup pea pods
  • 1 red pepper sliced
  • 1 can water chestnuts (optional)
  • 1 cup Teriyaki sauce (your favorite)
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ginger (ground)
  • as desired salt and pepper
  • as desired sesame seeds for garnish

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse off chicken. Remove skin if you prefer, or leave as is. Season with salt, pepper, garlic and ginger.
  • In a large bowl, combine all the vegetables and drizzle in sesame oil, olive oil and salt and pepper. Toss the vegetables to ensure even coverage of oils and seasonings.
  • On a large sheet pan, arrange chicken pieces and then set out the vegetables. Try to keep everything on the same level. With a basting brush, liberally baste the chicken pieces with the teriyaki sauce.
  • Bake for approximately 15 minutes and then liberally baste again. Repeat this process until the chicken is cooked thoroughly (180 degrees). This will take usually 35 – 40 minutes or so depending on your oven.
  • Note: if you find the sauce is not caramelizing as much as you prefer, then at the last 5 minutes of cooking, remove the vegetables and place the chicken on the broil setting for 1 – 2 minutes. Watch it closely as the sugars in the sauce will burn quickly.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!
