Yes!! You absolutely can. Simply arrange chicken breasts or chicken thighs in a single layer in the bottom of a lightly greased baking dish or rimmed baking pan and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, use a fork or tongs to turn the chicken over a couple of times to coat in the sauce, and cover the pan with foil. Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Drain the pan of excess liquid, then pour remaining teriyaki sauce over the chicken and serve.
