Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Can I freeze leftover slow cooker teriyaki chicken?
– Yes, you can store leftover cooked chicken in an air tight container and it should be fine to go into the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow them to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating
Can I substitute my own teriyaki sauce with a bottled one?
– You may use bottled teriyaki sauce but homemade gives a better chance at controlling what goes into the sauce and how it tastes.
Can I cook this recipe on the stove or in the oven instead of using a slow cooker?
– Nevertheless, you can cook it on top of your stove or even bake your chicken in an oven but cooking your chicken slowly allows all flavors to develop well besides tenderizing it.
Can I use other meats like beef or pork for this recipe?
– Absolutely! This dish can be made with beef or pork steak instead. However, cooking time depends on meat cut so check first if not using poultry joint.
