Storage

Leftover teriyaki chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

This also makes great meal prep, so you can make a batch ahead of time and reheat it when you need a quick lunch or dinner.

You can freeze the teriyaki chicken for up to 3 months. Let it thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
