Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Ingredients
- For chicken breast: For faster and more even cooking, pound the chicken to an even thickness or cut the breasts in half lengthwise.
- Try chicken thighs: Boneless or bone-in chicken thighs are also great for this recipe. Please note that baking time may vary.
- Homemade Teriyaki: I prefer homemade teriyaki sauce. However, bottled products have little effect.
