I normally make teriyaki chicken in the oven because I love how the sauce thickens and caramelizes, but it has been far too hot to use the oven this week so this is my version of slow cooker teriyaki chicken based on a variant of my oven recipe.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol. Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
