SLOW COOKER HONEY TERIYAKI CHICKEN
The honey teriyaki sauce is sweet, flavorful, and excellent. By using a crockpot, this dish is ready in about 10 minutes!
There are certain weeks when cooking a meal seems impossible because I have to accomplish all the other things. That’s when I bust out the ol’ slow cooker.
The convenience of having it ready for me when I get home from work is a gift.
In my opinion, Crock-Pot Honey Teriyaki Chicken is one of the best foods to create. Most cooking is done in a slow cooker, and the sauce is finished in a minute on the stovetop. Chicken teriyaki is many people’s favorite, and who doesn’t like it?
Soy and honey-based teriyaki sauce is absorbed quickly by a chicken that has been shredded into fine pieces. This recipe, I assure you, yields the ideal combination of sweet and savory sauce.
Of course, a steaming bowl of jasmine rice completes the meal for me. Served in a Chinese steamed bun, though, I think it would be excellent.
Honey Teriyaki Chicken Sandwiches can be found in the Asian market’s freezer section, pre-made steamed buns.
Whichever you choose, be sure to give this delicious Asian cuisine a whirl and inject some exotic flavors into your home.
