Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken, but it's best to thaw it first for even cooking. You can defrost it overnight in the refrigerator or use the microwave's defrost setting. Just ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
What can I substitute for the white wine?
If you're not using white wine, you can substitute with chicken broth or apple juice for a similar depth of flavor. Alternatively, you can simply omit it if you prefer a wine-free recipe. The teriyaki and stir-fry sauces will provide plenty of flavor on their own.
