CHICKEN TERIYAKI



Chicken Teriyaki image

Why use bottled teriyaki sauce when it's so easy to make your own with all the "chicken goodness" in the pot from the meat thawing and cooking? Teriyaki is usually grilled, of course. To make a successful version of teriyaki in the pot, it's best to cook the chicken in the aromatic sauce, then boil that sauce down to a thick glaze to use as a coating for the meat. Think of its final viscosity as about like duck sauce or Thai sweet chili sauce. Stir a lot as it cooks down because the sugars can start to burn.
