      Directions

      Combine all ingredients except cornstarch and green onions in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to low and simmer, covered, turning occasionally, until chicken is tender, about 30 to 35 minutes more.

      Remove chicken to a serving platter. Remove garlic and ginger and discard. Bring sauce to a boil, skim off excess fat, and cook until reduced slightly, about 10 minutes. Whisk in cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, add chicken, turn to coat, and serve chicken with sauce and sliced green onions.

        This was so easy to make, and really tasty! I will definitely make it again. I did end up roasting the chicken a bit, to get some color afterwards. But that's just because I wanted some crispy skin. Thank you, Aida!

        Deliscious, tastes teriyaki chicken! So easy to make to, only adjustment to the recipe is that the sauce needed to reduce a bit longer than recommended. Wonderful recipe!

        I think this is a wonderful recipe. It's wonderful that you don't have to mince everything and it's just plan EASY!! Needs to offer some side dishes with this recipe besides the fruit and this would be just more AWESOME than it already is.
