Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken

Slim PA's Note:

A great recipe for the football crowd, potluck, or family get-together. In lieu of broiling, I often grill the chicken for the specified broiling time to avoid clean-up and heating the house up with the broiler. Another tip, dependent upon how much chicken you intend to make, I usually make enough sauce to almost cover the meat.

this was yummy - i made it with chicken breasts, since that's all I ever have...i made a little extra sauce, and I'm glad I did, because it would not have been enough to cover the chicken if I hadn't...the picky boyfriend loved it :-)

This is good. I serve it with white rice and pour the juices over it. yummy!

Very, very tasty. I'm usually not a fan of teriyaki, but this might change my mind. Served over rice, and the amount of sauce was just right. Oh, I did make mine with chicken thighs as we're not such fans of legs. Wish I had an indoor grill. I bet this would have been even better. Thnx for sharing your recipe, Scott. Made for PAC Fall 2009.
