Teriyaki Chicken
Teriyaki is a traditional Japanese cooking technique. It involves broiling or grilling food with a glaze made from mirin, soy sauce, and sugar. Notably, “teriyaki” combines two words. “Teri” refers to the shine or luster created by the sugar in the glaze. “Yaki” means to cook over direct heat or a grill. This technique infuses food with a sweet and savory flavor while giving it a beautiful, glossy finish.
