Origin of Teriyaki Chicken

Teriyaki is a Japanese cooking technique that involves grilling or broiling food with a glaze made from soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. The word “teriyaki” comes from “teri” (shine or glaze) and “yaki” (grill or broil). While traditionally cooked over an open flame, this baked version makes it easier for home cooking while preserving the authentic flavors.

What I Love About This Recipe

This baked version of Teriyaki Chicken is effortless, requiring minimal prep and cleanup. The homemade teriyaki sauce is better than store-bought, striking the perfect balance between sweet, savory, and umami-rich flavors. Plus, the caramelization from baking adds a deep, irresistible taste.
