Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

Storage

  • Place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Notes

Pro Tips: Ensure the chicken is in a single layer for even cooking. Flip halfway through for a uniform glaze.
Ingredient Substitutions: Chicken breast can be used instead of thighs for a leaner option.
How to Serve: Serve with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
Storage & Freshness: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor.
