15 MINUTE EASY TERIYAKI CHICKEN (WITH VIDEO)

Who doesn’t love Teriyaki Chicken (照り焼きチキン in Japanese)! It’s a sumptuous Asian main course of stir-fried chicken glazed with a sticky teriyaki sauce. Teriyaki was invented in Japan centuries ago as a way to flavor meat and seafood by glazing with soy sauce, mirin, sugar and fresh ginger with red pepper flakes optional.

This teriyaki chicken recipe is a variation on Japanese tradition by using ingredients accessible in America, and the same method can be used to make teriyaki shrimp and teriyaki salmon as well as beef and pork too. And our crock pot teriyaki chicken is a good option when you have more time.

After some experimentation, I arrived at this recipe to approximate authentic teriyaki chicken using pantry ingredients. I’ve substituted rice vinegar and honey for the traditional sake and mirin. This dish is perfect for our busy lives because it’s ready in 15 minutes

This Teriyaki Chicken is loaded with mouthwatering sticky, savory and slightly

sweet chicken. It’s the easiest and most unbelievably delicious Chicken Teriyaki that will be on your table in only 15 minutes! So much better than takeout. Plus recipe video tutorial!
