Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Chicken Teriyaki Bowl keep in the fridge?

Keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat gently — add a splash of water or broth if the sauce thickens.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Yes! Thighs are juicier and more forgiving with cooking time. They have slightly more fat but won't dry out. Adjust cook time — thighs take 1-2 minutes longer.

Why is my chicken sticking to the pan and not browning?

The two most common causes: the pan isn't hot enough before the chicken goes in (heat oil until shimmering), or the chicken is wet (pat dry with paper towels). Don't force it — a properly seared piece releases cleanly when the crust forms.
