It&rsquo;s so easy to make from scratch, I bet you have all of the ingredients on hand. You just need soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch. <em>(Pro tip: keep peeled ginger in the freezer so you&rsquo;re always ready!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re the type that likes to meal prep, you can make the teriyaki sauce earlier in the week and store it until you need it. We&rsquo;ll be adding some to the actual chicken meatball mixture, and then also baking the meatballs in a layer of it, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said: absolutely NO ONE will be mad at you if you buy the teriyaki sauce pre-made, and then just follow my recipe along from there. I want you to have an easy time in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-2.jpg\" alt=\"Little bowls with ground meat, brown sauces, panko bread crumbs, and an egg.\" class=\"wp-image-79173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-2.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-2-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-2-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-2-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-for-the-homemade-teriyaki-sauce\">For the homemade teriyaki sauce:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Soy Sauce<\/strong>. One-half cup of your favorite soy sauce. I love the Sempio naturally-brewed brand. If you&rsquo;re using a generic grocery store brand, you might want to use the low sodium variety, because I find that they&rsquo;re overly salty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mirin<\/strong>. Mirin is a very low alcohol rice wine that has a subtle sweetness meant for cooking. If you don&rsquo;t have it, use the same amount of regular (dry) white wine and one teaspoon of sugar. We need 1\/3 cup total of mirin for this recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brown Sugar<\/strong>. Homemade teriyaki sauce always has a sweet element to it, and brown sugar is the best thing to use. One-quarter cup, please.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong>. Use a microplane to grate one big clove of garlic directly into the sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ginger<\/strong>. Similarly, use the microplane to grate 1-inch of fresh ginger into the sauce. I like to peel my ginger with the back of a spoon when I get it home from the grocery store. Then, I store it in the freezer until I need it. It grates very easily from frozen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cornstarch<\/strong>. The thing that makes homemade teriyaki thick and shiny is cornstarch! You may not skip or substitute this ingredient for anything else. Use one tablespoon of cornstarch or your teriyaki will be a soupy mess without it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-for-the-teriyaki-chicken-meatballs\">For the Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ground Chicken<\/strong>. One pound of lean ground chicken. You can also use turkey for this recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Egg<\/strong>. One large egg. You also need 1\/2 teaspoon of salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Breadcrumbs<\/strong>. One full of Panko breadcrumbs. These breadcrumbs are slightly larger and crispier than regular bread crumbs. They soak up more liquid and give things a lovely crunch when you fry them (like with my <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/dinner-for-two-easy-chicken-parmesan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chicken Parmesan<\/a><\/span>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-teriyaki-chicken-meatballs\">How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs.jpg\" alt=\"Brown liquid in white cooking pot with grated garlic and sugar on top.\" class=\"wp-image-79177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-4.jpg\" alt=\"Brown syrup-like liquid in small white pot with whisk.\" class=\"wp-image-79178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-4.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-4-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-4-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Teriyaki-Chicken-Meatballs-4-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>First, make the teriyaki sauce: combine all of the ingredients and whisk very well to dissolve the cornstarch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Then, bring this mixture to a boil and whisk frequently.

You can also make the meatball mixture and hold it in the fridge for up to 2 days before rolling and baking the meatballs. You can freeze already formed (but not baked) meatballs individually for up to 3 months. Do not add the teriyaki sauce until ready to bake. Defrost the meatballs in the fridge for 24 hours, and then proceed with baking in the teriyaki sauce. Already cooked teriyaki chicken meatballs can keep in the fridge for up to 3 days and frozen for up to 3 months in freezer-safe food containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
