Chicken in Teriyaki Sauce is a savory-sweet dish that combines tender, juicy chicken with the rich umami depth of traditional Japanese flavors. The chicken—typically boneless thigh or breast—is expertly grilled or pan-seared until golden and slightly caramelized, locking in moisture and flavor.
It’s then glazed in a glossy, house-made teriyaki sauce, a balanced blend of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and a touch of brown sugar or honey. The sauce clings to the chicken, forming a sticky, flavorful coating with just the right harmony of salty and sweet, with subtle notes of ginger and garlic.
The dish is often served over a bed of steamed jasmine rice or stir-fried vegetables, and garnished with toasted sesame seeds, finely chopped scallions, and sometimes a few pickled vegetables for contrast. A few thin slices of red chili or a drizzle of spicy mayo might be added for a modern twist.
