Steps:
- 1. Combine the teriyaki sauce, lemon juice, garlic and sesame oil in a large Ziploc bag. Add the chicken. Shake to coat. Place in the refrigerator for 1-12 hours to marinate, turning every so often.
- 2. Preheat grill on medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate (before it gets too hot).
- 3. Remove chicken, discarding marinade, and place on the grill.
- 4. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. (This could take even less time depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts.)
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
- Make sure your grill is hot: A hot grill will help to sear the chicken and give it a nice char. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the chicken.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
- Use a good quality teriyaki sauce: The teriyaki sauce is what gives this dish its flavor, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and juicy.
Conclusion:
This easy grilled chicken teriyaki is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a backyard barbecue. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the teriyaki sauce is flavorful and slightly sweet. Serve with rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
