Garlic and Teriyaki Chicken Thighs

Garlic and Teriyaki Chicken Thighs

Make Teriyaki Chicken Thighs ahead of time. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 3 months. They're also great for weeknight meals or entertaining. You can even make them gluten-free by substituting tamari or low-sodium soy sauce for the tamari. It's important to cut the chicken thighs into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

Notes

You can substitute boneless thighs for breasts. They will taste great, too! If you don't have a bone-in chicken thigh, you can use the skinless thighs instead. If you want to bake your chicken in the oven, turn it half-way through the process. This way, it will soak up the teriyaki sauce, giving your thighs a juicy texture.
