[1] The song was written by Rosalía, Raúl Alejandro, Qukaracho, Kamaal Fareed, El Guincho, Michael Uzowuru, and Sky Rompiendo, with the last three also serving as producers alongside the performer and Noah Goldstein.
The song was commercially successful across some Hispanoamerican countries such as El Salvador, Guatemala and Peru where "Chicken Teriyaki" placed between the first ten positions of their charts.
Rosalía teased "Chicken Teriyaki" for the first time through TikTok on 16 February and confirmed its release as a promotional single the week after.
[citation needed] "Chicken Teriyaki" is a "difficult, enjoyment social gathering" mid-tempo "TikTok-ready" reggaeton track that runs for two minutes and two seconds.
The concept of the song was mainly inspired in the 1981 painting Arroz con Pollo by Jean-Michel Basquiat.
