This easy homemade teriyaki chicken recipe rivals my favorite teriyaki restaurants. The chicken is best when marinated for a while, but you can get away with a shorter marinating period if you’re short on time.In our recipe, we’ve shared the ingredients to make one batch of teriyaki sauce, perfect for 1 ½ pounds of chicken. We highly recommend making a larger batch of sauce (it’s that good). You can find the instructions for a larger batch in our teriyaki sauce recipe, which makes 2 cups and provides enough sauce for two batches of chicken.
