I love ordering chicken teriyaki takeout, but this chicken teriyaki marinade has changed the game for me. I slathered a bit of this on some juicy chicken breasts and chucked them on the grill, and oh, my goodness! They were so good! I cooked down the leftover marinade into a sauce that I’ll be slathering on everything for the foreseeable future.
Notes and Tips
Let your chicken marinate for more than an hour if you have the extra time. You can even let it marinate overnight to soak in all the juices. Add 1 tablespoon sriracha to the marinade to spice things up! Cook your chicken on the grill if you want to get that smokey flavor with each bite.

Any leftover cooked sauce will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, though, and the cooked chicken will keep for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
