Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken

Be warned that this is probably not the best teriyaki chicken that you will ever have, but it is pretty good for being homemade.  (In my experience so far, the best teriyaki chicken comes from restaurants).  Here's the recipe:

I love that this is a crock pot recipe.  (In other words, easy!)  :-)  It wasn't very much work, which is always a good thing.  It's pretty good too, though like I mentioned, not restaurant-quality.  Still.  I will use this recipe again.  I recommend serving it over rice.
