Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, mirin, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare Teriyaki Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of soy sauce and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Add it to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade). Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Chicken

    Once grilled, brush the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and serve it on a platter.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the chicken for garnish before serving.
