Chicken Teriyaki (Made From Scratch!)
- 6 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast Halves
- 1 cup Soy Sauce
- 1 cup Cooking Oil
- 2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 1/2 cups Sugar
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- Wash chicken breasts and cut in half (width-wise).
- Place chicken on a large cutting board and cover with a large clean trash bag.
- Pound with a meat mallet so that all pieces are about the same thickness.
- Place chicken in a large zipper bag.
- Teriyaki sauce: Whisk soy sauce, oil, ginger, sugar and garlic powder in a large measuring cup or bowl.
- Ingredients will try to separate so whisk vigorously.
- Give it a quick taste and add more sugar if desired.
- After whisking, before separation happens, pour about half of the teriyaki sauce into the bag with the chicken.
- Set reserved sauce aside.
- Close zipper bag and remove all air.
- Squeeze the chicken around from the outside to make sure all chicken has sauce on it.
- Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
- Grill: Place chicken pieces on grill for approximately 5 minutes on each side or when fully cooked, brushing with any sauce left in the bag before flipping.
- Do not over cook.
- Broiler: Preheat broiler and cook approximately 5 minutes on each side, brushing with any sauce left in the bag before flipping.
- Heat the reserved sauce for about 30 seconds in the microwave and pour a little over the chicken once served (if serving with rice sauce can be poured over rice, too).
- Serve with white rice, your favorite veggie and a salad.
- Enjoy!
