The Best Chicken Teriyaki

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

This truly is the best chicken teriyaki recipe that I've ever tried to make at home.

I've been making this dish for years and my family goes absolutely crazy for it. It's so easy to put together, too. We usually serve this over some white rice for a nice and easy meal.

This is a perfect choice for a busy weekday dinner. My whole house loves this recipe, even my two picky little boys.

The chicken is so juicy and tender and the sauce is packed with so much flavor. It's the perfect combination.

Normally, this is something that my family would order from take out but this is seriously even better.

This is definitely one that you'll be making over and over again. It's a great recipe to have on your rotating dinner menu.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you'll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.

The Best Chicken Teriyaki Variations

I love this recipe for chicken teriyaki as it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you'd like to.

• Chicken- Thighs really are the best choice for this recipe but I understand that some people really prefer not to eat them. You can use chicken breast if you need to but It wont be as juicy. Chicken tenders would work, too.
• Vinegar- Instead of rice vinegar, apple cider vinegar would be a good substitute.
• Serving- Serve this chicken alone, with rice or salad.

Instructions

First, cube up the chicken thighs into same size piece about 1-2 inches thick and add them to a large bowl with all of the other ingredients except the sesame seeds and canola oil.

Now, give everything a big stir until all the ingredients are combined.

Then, cover the bowl and marinate it overnight. If thats not a possibility, let it marinate for at last two hours.

Now, when it's time to cook the chicken, drain it completely from the marinade.

In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium high heat and add the chicken.

Cook the chicken for about 5-10 minutes or until its cooked all the way through and the edges start to brown.

Plate the chicken and add sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
