I’ve struggled over the years finding just the right teriyaki chicken recipe. It took me a long time but I eventually found the right combination of ingredients. This recipe for Teriyaki Glazed Chicken is easy and it is the absolute perfect flavor in my book.
Glazed Chicken With Perfect Teriyaki Flavor
Once again, I am always wanting to make recipes that I know I can throw together pretty quickly since I am often crunched for time when I get home from work. This is one of those recipes that actually can be made in no time at all.
I always used to think it was best to use boneless chicken breasts when making my teriyaki chicken, but using boneless chicken thighs is actually the best. The thighs are tender and moist and actually has the right flavor for what I was looking for.
Another trick for me was to use lite soy sauce, which has about 30% less sodium. I like to serve this with rice and toss in some vegetables. This is by far one of my favorite ways to cook chicken!
