Is Teriyaki Chicken Gluten Free?

The most common source ofgluteninteriyakisauce is the soy sauce.

Most soy sauces, unless labeledgluten-free, containwheatas well as soybeans, salt and water.

However, commercially availableteriyakisauces may also includegluten-containing additives.

So, when making your own teriyaki chicken, always check the label for gluten free soy sauce.

You may be tempted to switch things up with the mix of ingredients, but don’t. I know some of you may shy away from celery or peppers, but I’m serious, it all works perfectly together. And the best part? It’s easy. Hardly any thought on your part. In fact you could even buy the frozenTeriyaki Chicken if you don’t want to make your own.
