On September 15, we’re gonna be making chicken teriyaki. The recipe looks… sus.
Research
So step one: Look up other chicken teriyaki recipes. Especially ones for crockpot.
Most recipes start with a store bought teriyaki sauce. Which… that’s not AIP. But that’s OK. I can DIY a teriyaki sauce that IS compliant. Also I came across a few recipes that mention stirring in vegetables in the last hour.
Results
I will make an AIP teriyaki sauce probably a day or two before. And use these two recipes as a guide to the steps.
Do you have any changes you will make?
