Baked Teriyaki Chicken

Here is what you can do differently with this baked teriyaki cooking recipe. Use lite soy sauce to cut the salt, increased the garlic, use 1 tsp. minced fresh ginger. Add more sugar but not the whole amount. If you double the sauce, I use 1/2 c. brown sugar and 1/4 c. white sugar. Line your pan with heavy duty foil then poured most of the thickened sauce over bone-in thighs (skin removed) and some boneless breasts but reserved a little. Cooked, covered it with foil for 30 minutes, removed foil, poured remainder of sauce over and bake another 20-30 minutes.
