Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Heat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and set aside.

Making the Teriyaki Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well to combine.

  2. 5

    Thicken the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Add this mixture to the saucepan and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Glaze the Chicken

    Brush the grilled chicken with the teriyaki sauce, coating each piece generously.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the teriyaki chicken warm with additional teriyaki sauce on the side, if desired.
