How to Make Sweet Teriyaki Chicken in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
This Crock Pot Sweet Teriyaki Chicken recipe was one of those “hit it out of the park” recipes. The chicken was flavorful, tender and juicy and the sauce just takes it over the top! My family all gobbled this dish right up!
For ours, I did the extra steps to to thicken the sauce. We like the sauce thickened. If you do not care if the sauce is thick or thin, feel free to skip those steps. It does not change the taste, only the thickness of the sauce. We also served ours over rice. Again, it is totally up to you if you want to eat this on its own or over rice. Feel free to make it your own!
