This Teriyaki Chicken recipe is easy to make!

We make this easy teriyaki chicken recipe a couple of times a month because it’s a family favorite.

This oven-baked teriyaki chicken can be made with chicken thighs or breasts. I prefer to use boneless, skinless chicken for this recipe. I usually use thighs because they are less expensive.

The marinade for this recipe uses teriyaki sauce as the base. Then we add sesame oil, honey, ground ginger, garlic powder, and onion powder to boost the flavor of the chicken.

If you have time, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking. However, it will still turn out very flavorful, even if you don’t have to marinate the chicken.

Meal Prep Tip:

You can make the teriyaki marinade the day before if you wish and store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

You can also place the chicken in a gallon-size plastic bag or a casserole dish, then pour half of the marinade over the chicken and let it marinate over night.

How to Store Leftover Teriyaki Chicken

You can store the leftover chicken for 5 days in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

You can freeze the leftover chicken for up to 3 months in the freezer. Allow the chicken to cool completely before placing it in a sealed container or freezer bag to prevent ice crystals from forming. Thaw the frozen chicken in the refrigerator overnight.

    It is great when our daughters give back all that they have been given, it is a wonderful gift. One of the most precious gifts I have given my family is my recipe book. They treasure it and I was so happy to give it to them. The Teriyaki Chicken looks wonderful, great recipe! Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope to see you next week!

    It's lovely to be cooked for, and your Teriyaki Chicken sounds delicious. And not only are you making a cookbook for your daughter, it's one she can easily access online so it's absolutely perfect for when she is at grad school. With a great resource like that, she definitely won't be living off Rice Chex 🙂

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
