Teriyaki crockpot shredded chicken

Prep:30minCook:3h 30min

You could just buy a bottle of good teriyaki Sauce and save time, or use your own variations if you have any, but teriyaki chicken is great ! Also, I would double all the sauce ingredients because it is so good I would like more! And you know I prefer thigh meat over breasts = juicier. :) Mamaw
