Notes
For a thicker sauce, you can mix a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water) and stir it into the sauce while cooking on high for an additional 20 minutes. Customize your teriyaki chicken by adding vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas in the last hour of cooking.
