TERIYAKI DELIGHT
A good teriyaki sauce gives grilled chicken a rich auburn color. My homemade version includes just the right amount of ginger to give it an equally appealing taste. While you can also use boneless breasts for this recipe, boneless thighs stay moister during grilling.

Steps:
- 1. Place the chicken thighs in a gallon-size zip-lock bag and add the marinade ingredients. Press the air out of the bag and seal it. Turn the bag to thoroughly coat the chicken, then place it in a bowl and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), turning the bag occasionally. Remove the meat from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling.
- 2. Prepare a charcoal fire or set a gas grill to medium-high, close the lid, and heat until hot -- about 10 to 15 minutes.
- 3. Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade. Grill the thighs until they are no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side on a gas grill.
- 4. Transfer the thighs to a cutting board and let them rest for about 5 minutes, then slice each piece at a diagonal. Sprinkle on the toasted sesame seeds. Serve over rice, garnished, if you like, with scallion strips. Serves 6 to 8.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat or fish: For teriyaki, thin slices of meat or fish work best. This allows the marinade to penetrate the food and cook evenly. Popular choices include flank steak, chicken breast, salmon, and shrimp.
- Make a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives teriyaki its signature flavor. Be sure to use a combination of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar. You can also add other ingredients like garlic, ginger, and green onions for extra flavor.
- Marinate the food for at least 30 minutes: This will give the marinade time to penetrate the food and tenderize it. If you have time, you can marinate the food for up to 24 hours.
- Cook the food over medium-high heat: This will help to caramelize the marinade and create a delicious crust on the outside of the food. Be sure to cook the food until it is cooked through but not overcooked.
- Serve teriyaki with your favorite sides: Teriyaki can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, vegetables, or salad. You can also serve it with a dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or ponzu sauce.
Conclusion:
Teriyaki is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make teriyaki at home that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give teriyaki a try!
