Tips and Tricks for Perfect Baked Teriyaki Chicken

Use chicken breast. I know many recipes prefer to use chicken thighs for their flavor. But this dish is jam-packed with flavor and using chicken breast will work just fine. Overall, chicken breast is just easier to use.

Flatten your chicken. This will not only help reduce the baking time, but it will ensure that the flavors seep in, all the way through.

Don’t bake and forget. Let me elaborate. This is not one of those dishes you pop into the oven, put a timer out, and you’re done. There’s a few extra steps here but they’re certainly worth it. First, you’ll want to take out your baking sheet halfway to flip your chicken. You’ll also want to brush the chicken with the sauce every 5-10 minutes. This helps create a beautiful finish, add more flavor, and keep the chicken moist. Otherwise, you could be left with dry chicken. Nobody likes dry chicken. Trust me.

This recipe is oh so easy; you would never have guessed how quickly it comes together. It’s the perfect weeknight meal the entire family can enjoy! Chow down, my friends!
