Teriyaki Chicken Tender Tips:

- Cooking Chicken – We recommend cooking chicken before adding on the sauce.
Can I Make this on the Stovetop?
Yes, this chicken recipe can easily be prepared indoors. You can cook the chicken in a skillet or make baked teriyaki chicken. We love making Blackstone recipes, but I am glad this one that I can easily make indoors.
If you want to prepare on the stovetop, follow the recipe as indicated and make in a cast iron skillet. If you want to bake the chicken, place the chicken on a baking sheet. Then drizzle with the homemade sauce over the top.
