Description

Grilled Teriyaki Chicken is a flavorful dish featuring marinated chicken breasts grilled to perfection, served with a sweet and savory glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably a couple of hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the marinade.
  5. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. If desired, brush some fresh marinade on the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling.
  7. For a thicker sauce, combine the leftover marinade (if set aside) with cornstarch and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until it thickens.
  8. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. Serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate the chicken overnight.
  • Serve with steamed rice or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
