Chicken Teriyaki

What makes a teriyaki dish distinct is the sauce that perfectly glazes the broiled or grilled meat. The flavors rely mostly on the sauce since it binds all the delicious flavors in the dish.

Teriyaki is a fusion of the words “teri,” which means “shiny,” and “yaki,” which means “grilled”. Hence, an authentic teriyaki dish must have that shiny glaze which can be achieved by using the right ingredients.
