How long should you bake teriyaki chicken?

The baking time for teriyaki chicken depends on a few factors:

1. The size and thickness of the chicken pieces:

* Chicken breasts: About 20-25 minutes at 375°F (190°C).

* Chicken thighs: About 30-35 minutes at 375°F (190°C).

* Chicken drumsticks: About 40-45 minutes at 375°F (190°C).

2. Whether you're baking whole chicken or chicken pieces:

* Whole chicken: About 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

* Chicken pieces: Use the times listed above.

3. Your oven and altitude:

* Ovens vary: Some ovens run hotter or cooler than others, so you may need to adjust the baking time accordingly.

* Higher altitude: You may need to add a few minutes to the baking time at higher altitudes due to lower air pressure.

General Tips:

* Use a meat thermometer: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

* Don't overcrowd the pan: This can prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.

* Flip the chicken halfway through baking: This helps ensure that both sides cook evenly.

* Check for doneness: The chicken should be cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
