Steps:

• Whisk the ingredients together, then mix up the cornstarch slurry and whisk it into the marinade. Place the chicken in a gallon zip-top bag and pour the marinade inside. Massage the marinade into the chicken with your hand, close the bag, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• For the teriyaki sauce, whisk the rest of the ingredients, except the cornstarch slurry, in a small saucepan over medium high heat. When it starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium low, whisk in the thoroughly mixed cornstarch slurry, and let it simmer for 5 minutes to thicken. Remove from the heat. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
• Place the meat on a plate and pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Add the oil to a grill pan set over medium high heat and heat up the pan until it's hot, roughly 2 minutes. Carefully place two chicken thighs in the grill pan and let them cook on medium high for 1 minute, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip over with tongs and cook the other side for 5 to 7 minutes. Chicken is cooked when it has an internal temperature of 165 F on a meat thermometer and is no longer pink inside. Repeat with the other 2 thighs.
• Place the grilled meat on a plate and tent with foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
• With a serrated knife, slice the meat across the grain in half-inch strips.
• Reheat the sauce over medium low heat, then brush the sauce on top of the chicken. Extra sauce can be used for a dipping sauce or for mixing with rice. Serve the teriyaki chicken with steamed rice and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
