Notes
Make this recipe with chicken thighs, but decrease the cooking time to 6 hours on low.
Serve your teriyaki chicken with a side of rice and steamed veggies.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Freeze the chicken cooked or raw in the marinade for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge then cook as normal, or reheat the cooked chicken right from frozen for 4-5 minutes in the microwave.
