Sticky Teriyaki Chicken

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The best recipe for an easy soy sauce sticky chicken made with a sweet and salty honey teriyaki sauce. There is nothing I love more than a nice soy sauce or teriyaki chicken. Except, a sweet version. That's why I love making my sticky teriyaki chicken! It combines my favorite teriyaki sauce with some honey to create a creamy sauce for my perfectly cooked chicken. Plus, it really is that easy to make and takes about 15 minutes!

The best recipe for an easy soy sauce sticky chicken made with a sweet and salty honey teriyaki sauce.

Making takeout food is one of my absolute favorite things to make! I have made tons of takeout recipes from sweet and sour chicken, to orange chicken, to General Tso chicken and much more. But, one thing I have not hit was that classic teriyaki chicken.

It reminds me of being younger, walking through the mall. This one takeout place would always hand out samples of teriyaki chicken. I would walk around I circles many times, trying to get as many samples as possible. Those are usually made with chicken thighs; however, I am going lighter with chicken tenderloins.

I also substituted honey to make the sticky soy chicken, instead of brown sugar. However, you can do a classic brown sugar as well.

  • Teriyaki sauce
  • Honey
  • Seasonings

This recipe calls for try chicken tenderloins; however, it really does not matter which cut of chicken that you use. I love using chicken tenderloins as they are a very tender piece of chicken, hence the name, and easier to cut as they are already slim. This recipe is amazing with chicken breast, chicken thighs, chicken cutlets, just about anything.

Sticky chicken needs a key ingredient and that is teriyaki sauce. I always have teriyaki sauce in a jar on hand. I use a gluten free stir fry marinade and sauce from San J. It is also low sodium; however, you can use a different version. They have tons of sauces that I LOVE. I usually get the teriyaki at Publix; however, you can grab their whole line on Amazon, or use this as a reference photo.

I also substituted honey to make the sticky soy chicken, instead of brown sugar. However, you can do a classic brown sugar as well. I also love this love calorie agave substitute that is great to use instead of honey in so many recipes!

For the seasonings, I use seasonings to get that classic teriyaki chicken flavor including garlic powder and ground ginger. If you want something spicy, try adding some crushed red pepper.

How to Make Sticky Teriyaki Chicken

This recipe is done in under 15 minutes which is why it is one of my favorite recipes to make. You can marinade the chicken in the sauce; however, I do not. I turn the marinade into a sauce anyways; therefore, I do not find it too necessary.

To start, cut up the chicken tenderloins into bite-sized pieces, about one inch by one inch. Place those in a bowl with the teriyaki sauce and honey, stirring to coat.

Let that chicken set. Then, heat a medium sized pan over medium high heat. Once heated, add the chicken (with the sauce) and bring that to a simmer. Simmer and cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees and is fully cooked.

At this point, the sauce should be thickened enough to stick to the chicken, hence the sticky teriyaki chicken. Remember that it will continue to thicken as it cool. However, if you find that the sauce is not thick enough, combine one teaspoon of corn starch with an equal portion of water and slowly add into the sauce and chicken until your desired thickness is reached.

You can, alternatively, cook the chicken in the oven or the air fryer; however, the sauce does not thicken up those ways.

I serve this sticky teriyaki chicken with my teriyaki broccoli and instant pot rice! I cannot have takeout chicken without broccoli and rice. There is a little bit of sauce left for the rice. However, if you want more sauce, you need to make my yum yum sauce. It is one of my most popular recipes.
