Teriyaki Chicken Recipe

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.
