    Tips for making the best homemade Teriyaki Chicken.

    My Teriyaki Chicken was made with chicken breasts that are cut into bite sized pieces. You can alternatively use chicken thighs if desired.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. Regular honey was used to make my chicken. You can use a flavored honey for a nice touch.
    2. Adding vegetables to the slow cooker can make this dish into a meal in itself. I like peas or mushrooms for this recipe.
    3. Making additional sauce can be a good idea for serving this chicken, especially if you are serving it with rice.
    4. Marinating your chicken before slow cooking it can bring your chicken even more flavor. You can place the chicken with the sauce in a zip-top bag and refrigerate it up to overnight and then place it into the slow cooker when you are ready.
    5. Do you have to use bite-sized chicken in this recipe? Bite sized chicken makes this recipe easier to slow cook uniformly and eat.
    6. If you find that your sauce seems to thin after slow cooking you can thicken it. Simple stir in 1:1 cornstarch and water (for up to two tablespoons each).
