The best teriyaki chicken recipe
It may seem complicated to make the sauce yourself, but nothing could be further from the truth. All you have to do is mix the ingredients together and let it thicken on the stove for a while. Super easy! I tried to get this recipe as close to the traditional teriyaki sauce as possible, but it’s super flavorful nonetheless.
This homemade teriyaki sauce contains brown sugar, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and ginger and I bet you will find it much tastier than the one from the store! You can make extra and keep it in the fridge. In the mood for more teriyaki recipes? Try this equally great teriyaki salmon dish!
Homemade chicken teriyaki
I like to let the chicken marinate in the delicious sauce. You don’t have to, but it will give you the most flavour and the tastiest result. Another great tip is to brush the chicken with the teriyaki sauce during and after cooking.
You can serve this easy recipe with rice and broccoli, or with noodles and other green vegetables such as green beans or green asparagus! Top it with spring onion and some sesame seeds and you’re done! You can definitely call this chicken teriyaki a healthy meal. It is low in calories and very nutritious 😉 .
