Crock-Pot Chicken Teriyaki

Chicken teriyaki is probably one of the most well known and liked Japanese dishes in the US and for sure one of the classic takeout recipes we all love.
Most people don’t think about making it at home because they either have a restaurant they love or because they buy teriyaki sauce like they buy ketchup.
But I do love making it from scratch.
In fact I have not one, not two, not three, but four different recipes for chicken teriyaki on this blog: Baked Honey-Teriyaki Chicken, Teriyaki Glazed Chicken Kebabs, Beer-Flavored Chicken Teriyaki, and Pineapple Teriyaki Glazed Chicken Skillet
And today I have a fifth.
*drumroll please*
Crock-Pot Chicken Teriyaki -> one word: uh-mazing.

It takes a matter of minutes to throw everything into the slow cooker and it is so incredible delicious you won’t believe it.
Juicy and tender chicken chunks glazed to perfection in a flavorful and bold sauce.
The sauce is actually made from pantry staples so you don't need to run to the store to snag forgotten ingredients.

Believe me when I say that this is one of the best thing you can ever make in your Crock-Pot.
The teriyaki sauce has the most amazing flavor — perfectly sweet, savory, and just a tiny bit spicy. The chicken becomes perfectly tender and melts in your mouth.
This Crock-Pot Chicken Teriyaki is a meal that the whole family will love but fancy enough for a dinner party.
You will make it again and again. Trust.
