Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Heat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side.

  3. 5

    Glaze with Teriyaki Sauce

    Flip the chicken and brush the teriyaki sauce over the cooked side. Grill for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  4. 6

    Check for Doneness

    Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top before serving.
