Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your teriyaki chicken will taste. If possible, buy organic, free-range chicken and fresh vegetables.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes will help it to absorb the flavors and become more tender.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning. If you cook it over high heat, it will be more likely to dry out.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Teriyaki chicken can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
