Ingredients
•
1 1/2 pounds frozen skinless, boneless chicken breasts
•
3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
•
1/4 cup teriyaki marinade
•
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
•
2 teaspoons dried parsley
•
1 teaspoon lemon juice
•
1 teaspoon smoked salt
•
1 teaspoon ground ginger
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
cooking spray
Directions
1
Cut chicken with the grain into very thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, while still mostly frozen.
2
Whisk soy sauce, teriyaki marinade, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, lemon juice, smoked salt, ginger, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken strips, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
3
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Spray a wire rack with cooking spray; place the rack onto a rimmed baking sheet.
4
Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Place chicken on the prepared rack as close together as possible without touching. Discard remaining marinade.
5
Bake in the preheated oven, flipping halfway through, until chicken is uniformly dark orange in color and dry inside when cut in half, 4 to 5 hours.
