And don&#8217;t even think about reaching for that bottled teriyaki sauce\u2014homemade teriyaki sauce is what makes this taste like your favorite takeout order!<\/p>\n<h2>Teriyaki Chicken Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Canola oil:<\/strong> A neutral, high-smoke point oil is best for cooking small pieces of chicken quickly and thoroughly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken:<\/strong> Try to cut your chicken into equal-sized pieces. That way they finish cooking at the same time, so none of the pieces are overcooked while others are undercooked.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soy sauce:<\/strong> Made from fermented soybeans, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-soy-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-soy-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">soy sauce<\/a> gives this dish lots of salty and savory flavor, as well as a touch of sweetness. It also gives teriyaki sauce its dark color.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Go for fresh garlic cloves over the powdered stuff. Their pungent flavor is essential in teriyaki sauce. (<em>Psst:<\/em> Here are six ways to easily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-mince-garlic\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-mince-garlic\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">mince fresh garlic<\/a>.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar and honey:<\/strong> This dish has a balance of sweet and savory flavors, with honey and brown sugar representing the sweet ingredients.

Sesame oil has a warm, nutty flavor that pairs well with the aromatics and seasonings of teriyaki chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gingerroot:<\/strong> To mince fresh gingerroot, break off a 1-inch nub and peel the skin off with a spoon. Then finely mince it, measure the amount you need and add it to this teriyaki chicken for a zippy, refreshing flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong> A little cornstarch added to the simmering sauce thickens it up so that the sauce coats the chicken and rice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green onions:<\/strong> While chicken teriyaki is delicious, it\u2019s also a bit beige. Green onions add a much-needed bright-green vibrancy to the dish and a wonderfully pungent aroma and flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sesame seeds:<\/strong> For a nuttier flavor and more crunch, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until they\u2019re fragrant and just beginning to turn golden.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the chicken<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2071430\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Teriyaki-Chicken_TOHVS24_278344_MF_10_24_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Cooking chicken in canola oil in a large skillet\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Heat the canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
