What’s For Dinner Teriyaki Chicken 🫶🏻🍋

Making teriyaki chicken at home is not only simpler than you think, but it also allows you to control the flavors and ingredients. A traditional teriyaki sauce includes soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a sweetener such as brown sugar or honey. For this homemade version, you’ll need 1 cup of water, 5 tablespoons of packed brown sugar, and other key ingredients to achieve that rich and savory taste. Start by combining the water, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground ginger in a medium saucepan over medium heat. To thicken the sauce, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cold water, then stir it into the saucepan. Cook until the sauce thickens to your liking. It’s a quick 10-minute process that enhances the overall taste of the chicken and is worth the effort. This method also allows you to customize the sweetness and flavor balance according to your preference. Enjoy this delightful dish alongside steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal that everyone will love.
