Absolutely delicious! This is an amazingly easy but yummy teriyaki chicken recipe! It’s just as good or better than any Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to. My mom used to make this exact recipe growing up. My brothers and sister and I all loved it. And now I’m privileged to be able to have and make this myself! Thank you to whomever it may concern. Also, my husband loved it too, so it’s a winner. We will be making this one of our regulars.
I used brown sugar instead of white sugar and grilled the chicken. Very tasty.
This was delicious! I followed the recipe as is with the exception of the garlic. I used a little cumin instead. I also used chicken drumsticks since it was all I had at the time.
I don’t eat sugar, so I substituted Lakanto Golden. I also added a tablespoon or two of sriracha. Loved the flavors together! At the end I poured off the remaining sauce and reduced it slightly in a saucepan so we could spoon some over the chicken. Will definitely make this again!
I thought this was a great recipe. I switched white sugar to brown sugar and added 2 TBSP of rice wine vinegar (but you could also just use white vinegar). I also think it needs to at least marinate for five hours. If you want to make the marinade into the sauce, you should boil it in a pot to cook it to a safe temperature and add 1 1/2 TBSP of corn starch to thicken it.
User the honey hickory seasoning to add it to this and brought out even more flavors with the sauce and the baked tater tasted awesome with this chicken super full at the moment.
Great recipe! No need to marinate; it’s just as good if you bring the ingredients to boil in a pot, pour over the chicken and bake.
I really enjoy this recipe, it’s quick and easy, though someday I’m going to shoot for the more intricate recipe.
Easy to make; family enjoyed it. Made no changes.
A good, easy recipe. I thought it was a little sweet for me and will likely use less sugar next time… but in a pinch, a good option. Thanks!
It was delicious and taste just like teriyaki chicken back home in the island I just twicked it a little and added a little bit of island flava.
Great flavor! Just a little too sweet for my taste. Will reduce sugar next time. Used chicken breast and marinated then cooked on stovetop! Love the fresh ginger and garlic!
Very good. The only changes I made were using brown sugar instead.
Wow what an amazing recipe. I did tweak it a little did not use the white sugar instead I used brown sugar. I also added a whole can of pineapple with the juice. Put all the ingredients with the chicken legs into a turkey bag(Plastic). Let it sit in the refrigerator for about two or three hours. When ready to cook put the bag inside Aluminum tray. When I felt it was good to take out the bag I did and let it continue baking till it was ready. My husband and boys loved it my young one loved it so much he started to pick some off my plate. ?? All in All I will be making it again soon. Was delicious. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with myself and others.
The brown sugar definitely works. Love the the almost burnt bits!
Did anyone fry the chicken instead of baking? I’m going to try it with chicken breasts.
Amazingly easy and SO delicious!!! I use ground ginger and minced garlic from a jar. It literally takes seconds to throw everything into the instant pot. Thirty minutes later I have fantastic teriyaki chicken. I don’t marinade but do cook it this long so it shreds and the flavor is throughout the meat. I double the recipe and triple the sauce so we can have some for dinner and I can put a few freezer meals away for lunches. Won’t ever buy teriyaki sauce again. Great for company too! Everyone LOVES it!!!
Awesome dish!
I was looking for a Teriyaki recipe and found this one however I didn’t have any ginger so I used an apple instead – threw everything in a bullet blender and marinated in a plastic bag for a couple of hours. Baked as instructed & it was great! I will definitely make again & will also try original recipe as well lol!
Delicious! I doubled the sauce so there was lots left over to smother the rice. I didn’t even have time to marinade as the recipe called for and it was very flavourful.
I also used brown sugar instead of white. I used low sodium soy sauce and not as much as recipe calls for. I added just a little bread crumbs on top of chicken. That’s just my preference. It was very easy to make and awesomely delicious!
