For the Chicken & Marinade:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (slurry, optional for thickening)

For the Sandwich:

  • 4 sandwich buns or brioche buns
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, red onion, teriyaki mayo
