Note
For best results, use a wok or a heavy-bottomed skillet to achieve a good sear on the chicken.
If you cannot find teriyaki baste & glaze, you can substitute with a homemade mix of soy sauce, brown sugar, and a little rice vinegar.
This dish is best served hot. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain texture.
You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for extra nutrition and color.
