Easy Baked Teriyaki Chicken Recipe

This Baked Teriyaki Chicken Recipe makes the most tender, juicy and flavorful chicken you have ever tasted! It’s so easy to make and comes together quickly. The classic Teriyaki sauce gets all glazed in the oven and served over white rice, it’s just so delicious. This is one of my go-to weeknight meals. Let me show you how to make it.

The first step to great chicken is browning it quickly over high heat in a bit of oil. This gives that golden brown exterior, but they will not be fully cooked through at this point.

Browning the chicken

Place the browned chicken into an oven safe baking dish.

Putting browned chicken in a casserole dish

Make a slurry of cornstarch and water. Set aside.

Cornstarch slurry

Let’s make the sauce/marinade. You’ll need:

  • Brown Sugar
  • Ground Ginger
  • Minced Garlic
  • Honey
  • White Wine Vinegar
  • Soy Sauce
Ingredients for the sauce/marinade

Bring this mixture to a boil for two minutes, then add the cornstarch mixture whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook another two minutes and then cool before proceeding. It will continue to thicken as it sits.

Cooking the sauce

Brush half of the mixture onto the chicken and bake 20. Brush with remaining sauce/marinade and baking until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees on a thermometer.

Basting the chicken

I made a lot of sauce for this recipe because if you are anything like me, you like extra for your rice. There is enough sauce in this recipe for up to 8 pieces of chicken depending on size.

Just look at that juicy chicken! Give it a sprinkling of white sesame seeds and garnish with green onions. Best served with white rice.
