Ultimate Teriyaki Test: Chicken Breasts vs. Thighs… Wh fluffy? (Book Insights) We dove into Hello! 50 Teriyaki Chicken Recipes with curiosity, comparing chicken breasts to thighs as suggested by the book’s diverse recipes. The verdict? Thighs are undeniably more forgiving for beginners, yielding tender, moist meat with less risk of overcooking. Breasts, while faster, require careful attention to avoid dryness unless marinated for extended periods. Our test kitchen learned that the book’s marinade tips are gold—especially for chicken breasts, which benefit from overnight brining. Thighs, with their natural fat, pair perfectly with the robust teriyaki glaze. The cookbook’s variety allows us to experiment, but we’ll stick to thighs for consistency. For fluffy perfection, thighs win, but both deliver delicious results when prepared with the right techniques from Hello!
