Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) chicken thighs, boneless and skinless π
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce πΆ
- 2 tbsp honey π―
- 1 tbsp soy sauce π

Directions:
In a bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix well and set aside. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chicken thighs, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
Return the caramelized onions to the skillet, mixing them with the chicken and sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through. Serve the sticky teriyaki chicken garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
