Ingredients

  • 2 large yellow or sweet onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

  • ½ tsp salt

  • Optional: pinch of black pepper, garlic powder, or thyme for extra flavor

Directions

  • Preheat air fryer to 370°F (190°C) for 2–3 minutes.
  • Toss sliced onions with oil, salt, and optional seasonings.
  • Place onions in the air fryer basket, spreading them out as evenly as possible.
  • Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  • Cook until soft, golden, and slightly crispy at the edges. Add extra time if needed for deeper caramelization.
  • Serve warm, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the basket — cook in batches if needed.
  • For softer onions, lower the temp to 350°F and cook a few minutes longer.

A delicious and easy-to-make dish, Oven Baked Chicken Teriyaki features tender, juicy chicken glazed in a rich, savory-sweet teriyaki sauce. This version is baked to perfection, allowing the flavors to infuse deeply into the meat while keeping it moist and flavorful.

Origin of Teriyaki Chicken

Teriyaki is a Japanese cooking technique that involves grilling or broiling food with a glaze made from soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. The word “teriyaki” comes from “teri” (shine or glaze) and “yaki” (grill or broil). While traditionally cooked over an open flame, this baked version makes it easier for home cooking while preserving the authentic flavors.

What I Love About This Recipe

This baked version of Teriyaki Chicken is effortless, requiring minimal prep and cleanup. The homemade teriyaki sauce is better than store-bought, striking the perfect balance between sweet, savory, and umami-rich flavors. Plus, the caramelization from baking adds a deep, irresistible taste.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

  • ¼ cup honey or brown sugar

  • 2 tbsp mirin (or rice vinegar)

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp grated ginger

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch, mixed with 2 tbsp water (for thickening)

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

  • 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  • Pat dry the chicken thighs and place them in the baking dish.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), mirin, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
  • Mix cornstarch and water in a separate bowl, then slowly add it to the sauce while stirring.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
  • Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, coating evenly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, basting with the remaining sauce halfway through.
  • For a caramelized finish, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Drizzle with extra sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
  • Serve with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a side of noodles.

Notes

  • Substitutes for Mirin: If you don’t have mirin, use rice vinegar + extra honey for a similar effect.

Avocado butter is a delicious and creamy spread made by blending ripe avocados with butter (or plant-based butter for a dairy-free version). Known for its smooth texture and rich flavor, it’s a healthier alternative to traditional butter, providing a good amount of healthy fats and nutrients.

Origin of Avocado Butter Recipe
The origin of avocado butter traces back to Latin America, where avocados have been used in various dishes for centuries due to their creamy texture and health benefits. This modern twist on butter combines the goodness of avocados with traditional butter for a nutritious and versatile spread.

I love avocado butter for its luxurious creaminess and rich, buttery flavor. It’s packed with healthy fats, making it a satisfying and nourishing alternative to regular butter. The best part is that it’s incredibly versatile—great on toast, in sandwiches, or as a topping for baked goods or vegetables.
