Teriyaki Glazed Chicken is an easy, delicious baked chicken dish with a sauce that perfectly balances the sweet, spicy, and salty Asian flavors.
I was staring at a package of chicken tenders in the refrigerator trying to figure out a new, delicious, easy yet different way to fix them. I knew I wanted to bake them.
Since I had soy sauce, sriracha, garlic, and ginger on hand, I decided to make a baked Teriyaki Glazed Chicken.
And the result tasted amazing! The key is balancing the sweet, spicy, and salty flavors of the sauce. You may wish to adjust the sugar to make it either sweeter (or less sweet) or adjust the sriracha to either make it spicier or less spicy based on your preferences.
This made a perfect lunch with a vegetable and rice.

I do a lot of Japanese cooking and use both bottled and homemade teriyaki sauce. This one sounds interesting, although I’ll be honest – I’ve never heard of making it with Sriracha sauce. I think I would leave that out. I buy large bottles of Japanese soy sauce (shoyu) so I always have more than enough of that on hand, plus just about everything else on the list. I’ll have to try this recipe. As I said, I love mixing things up a bit and don’t always want my teriyaki sauce to taste the same every time.

Hi Linda, I added the Sriracha because I like the flavor with it. I was not trying to make anything authentic. I always believe in adjusting recipes to your own taste preference.

Teriyaki is one of my faves! I’ll have to try your version. I got lazy and bought it last time. I’m sure your version is a whole lot better.

I can never get enough of this kind of sauce with ginger, garlic, and some heat. I bet using the chicken tenders made this super quick and convenient too. Looks really good. I’ll have to give it a try soon!
