This teriyaki chicken is a comforting, homemade version of a classic favorite. Tender pieces of chicken are cooked until lightly golden, then coated in a glossy, sweet-savory sauce made from simple pantry staples. The result is a dish that feels both familiar and special, perfect for busy weeknights or relaxed family dinners. What makes this recipe stand out is its balance. The sauce is rich but not heavy, sweet without being cloying, and deeply savory in a way that keeps you coming back for another bite. It’s approachable, reliable, and endlessly adaptable, which is why it has earned a permanent place in my kitchen rotation.
