1. Verify Safe Internal Temperature: Use an instant-read digital thermometer in the thickest section of poultry to reach exactly 165°F (74°C). Pulling it the moment it hits temperature keeps lean meat juicy and prevents drying out. 2. Protect Minced Garlic from Burning: Garlic cooks and turns fragrant in just 30 to 45 seconds. Add it toward the end of sautéing onions or aromatics so it perfumes the dish without acquiring a bitter edge. 3. Chef's Kitchen Secret: Brush extra teriyaki glaze onto the chicken right before serving for maximum shine.
Store leftovers in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a preheated 350°F oven or covered skillet over medium-low heat until steaming hot throughout.
