I kept reading how people said it was "too salty" so instead of doing 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce and 1/4 cup honey, I did 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, and then added 1/4+ cup honey to taste. Turned out really well!!

But I like the overly sweet gloppy sauce.

I never realized how simple it was to make at home! Loved this recipe and its simplicity!

Omg I cooked this for my family when I had no idea what to make and my husband and daughter loved it thanks soo much ..

Or you can use teriyaki sauce and brown sugar and to thicken it add a cup of room temperature water mixed with corn starch just help the people that probably don't use low sodium soy sauce or honey 😊

1:50 regarding the stuck/unstuck conundrum, it occurred to me that the intensity of the heat determines the thickness of the cooking gradient: higher heat = sharper & thinner gradient. my first try, the heat was not high enough, so the whole piece was cooked through by the time the chicken unstuck itself, resulting in leathery/dry chicken after the other side was done.. so my second try I used higher heat (between 7 and 8 on the electric range-top's smaller coils) and voila! the chicken unstuck itself while there was still more to cook by flipping it over, turned out juicy with a thin & browned/crispy exterior, which soaked up the sauce much better as well. results were yummy! :)

I made this for a playdate since we're all under quarantine, my wife loved it, making it again now

[blessedwithchallenges]

thank you, I made this for my 2 Chinese boys, 2 Nigerians, and 2 Americans... everyone is excited it tastes so good. 1 change is I used garlic rather than ginger...some don't like ginger. Thank you - it's a hit I will add to my cooking dishes!

I like to use brown sugar in place of the honey, but both are good!

im eating this right now and its amazing. i have regular soy sauce so instead of 3/4 cup of reduced sodium soy sauce, i did 1/2 cup normal soysauce and 1/4cup water and normal amount of honey. very good recipe

[NaRdOsF]

I just made this recipe for dinner today and it came out amazing!! A lot better than some teriyaki chicken I've tried in restaurants before. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[RinkuZeldurah]

Turned out great! I didnt have any reduced salty soysauce so i used a lot of honey and more ginger. and added a bit of soysauce. I kept tasting it to make sure

[blaiiddrwg]

Just wanted to let you know I’ve never cooked chicken on the stove before in my life…until today. Watching this video took the fear away from me and I made some really delicious chicken because of it. Thank you so much!
