Oven-Baked Teriyaki Chicken Wraps
While grilling gives our beloved Teriyaki Chicken Wraps a unique smoky touch, oven-baking can also provide a fantastic depth of flavor, allowing the marinade to thoroughly seep into the chicken, resulting in a tender and juicy experience. Let’s delve into this oven-baked version.
Ingredients:
- Same as the original recipe (assuming you have a list already).
Method:
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it heats, prepare the chicken as mentioned in the original recipe – marinate it in the teriyaki sauce.
- Line the Tray: On a baking tray, lay down a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil. This not only makes cleanup a breeze but also ensures that your chicken cooks evenly without sticking.
- Arrange: Once marinated, place the chicken pieces on the tray, ensuring they’re spread out and not overlapping. This allows for even cooking.
- Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your chicken pieces. You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink inside and has a slightly golden exterior.
- Broil for Finish: For that extra golden touch and to mimic the grilled look, switch your oven to broil and let the chicken broil for an additional 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to ensure it doesn’t burn.
- Rest and Slice: Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This ensures all those lovely juices are locked in. Slice the chicken into thin strips, ready to be wrapped.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out your wrap, add a generous amount of the sliced oven-baked teriyaki chicken, throw in your preferred veggies, drizzle with some extra teriyaki sauce if desired, and roll it up.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy this delightful oven-baked version of the Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Wraps. The oven not only ensures a thorough cook but also locks in that rich teriyaki flavor, making each bite truly irresistible.

Cooking Tips
- The Marinade Mastery:
While it’s tempting to rush, giving your chicken ample time to marinate (preferably overnight) truly elevates its taste. - Avoid Overcrowding:
When placing chicken on the baking tray, ensure pieces don’t overlap. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and less crispy results. - Temperature Check:
Using a meat thermometer can be a lifesaver. Aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure your chicken is perfectly cooked and safe to eat. - Common Mistakes:
Avoid using a very thick teriyaki sauce for marination. It can burn quickly under the broiler. Instead, opt for a slightly runny consistency, saving the thicker sauce for drizzling over the final dish.
