Teriyaki Chicken

Chicken Teriyaki is what most people call it over in my world (Florida). But where I’m from (Hawaii). . we call it teriyaki chicken or its on the menu at a restaurant called BBQ Chicken. Its basically chicken marinated in the same sauce I use for Kalbi.

So here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

10 Boneless skinless chicken thighs (This is really tender and it makes the difference)

1/3 cup Soy Sauce

1/3 cup water

1/3 cup sugar

1 Tablespoon of minced garlic

3 pieces of sliced ginger or minced ginger is good (optional) – I usually don’t have this on hand

1/2 onion sliced (optional)

1 teaspoon of sesame oil

Take all the ingredients above, except the chicken, and put into a container that you will store to marinate the chicken.  Mix it up so the sugar is dissolved. Then get your chicken and cut off all the fat and then slice it up so that it is flat. Then throw it in the marinade. Store at least overnight so the chicken is well marinated. . I like to do it for several days and toss the chicken daily so it gets marinated well.

I love to grill it but you can cook it on the pan if you want. The best way to grill it is about 5 – 7 mins on each side. Make sure the sides are cooked before you flip it. The secret to a moist chicken is to only flip once.

Enjoy!
