Ingredient notes

  • Use Kikkoman light soy sauce for the best flavor.
  • The chicken should be boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized chunks.

Tips from Spice Eats’s video

  • Fry the chicken on high heat for 5-6 minutes until browned and the water dries up; this helps achieve a nice texture.
  • Make sure to mix the teriyaki sauce well with the chicken and cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes to allow the sauce to absorb and coat the chicken.
