  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine sugar, soy sauce, cider vinegar, cornstarch, cold water, garlic, ginger, and pepper in a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer, stirring frequently, until teriyaki sauce thickens and bubbles, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • Flip chicken and brush with sauce. Continue to bake, basting with remaining sauce every 10 minutes, until no longer pink and juices run clear, 20 to 30 more minutes.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
