Step 5

Make a few slits on the chicken quarters.

Step 6

Place them in the dish and then pour marinade over the chicken.

Step 7

Gently swirling the dish will help to coat the chicken with the marinade.

Step 8

Cover with the lid or cling film and refrigerate for 2-3 hours(I marinated them overnight).

Step 9

Halfway through the marinating time, you can flip the chicken parts over so to give them an even time to soak in the flavours.

Remove the dish from your fridge and let the chicken parts reach room temperature(15-20 minutes).

Step 11

Preheat oven to 190C/375F.

Step 12

Place the dish with the chicken parts in the ovenBake for 15 minutes and then flip the chicken over, baste with the marinade and bake for another 15 minutes.

Step 13

For the last, 10-15 minutes flip again, baste and bake the rest of the way. Total bake time 40-45 minutes.

Step 14

If you are using boneless chicken breast bake for 20-30 minutes. Flipping and basting halfway through.

Step 15

Internal temperature should reach 165F on the chicken’s thickest part to be thoroughly cooked.

Step 16

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest, use a basting brush to brush some teriyaki marinade over the baked chicken to keep them moist.Let it rest for 5 minutes and serve while still warm with the side dish options given above.
