Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Tenders image

My aunt shared this basic teriyaki marinade for chicken tenders with me 40 years ago. Her original recipe called for a lot more sugar and soy sauce. I have tweaked it over the years to get the flavor we love.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup water
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 clove garlic, smashed
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 (16 ounce) package boneless, skinless chicken tenders

Steps:

  • Whisk soy sauce, water, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl and pour into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add chicken tenders, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Place chicken on the grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
