New to Japanese food? Then you'll love this. Japanese Teriyaki Chicken!

Teriyaki Chicken is not an American dish! 

History
"Teriyaki" is a way of cooking in japan: To grill a piece of protein (whether it be chicken or fish) with the sweet soy sauce. It has been a popular way of cooking in Japan since centuries ago; for example in the Meiji period (1800s), Teriyaki fish was very popular as it went perfectly with Japanese sake. These dishes then became popular in the army as well; they started to get packed in cans so that it could be saved for longer periods of time during the war.

I served this dish to go with some drinks at a home party. The great thing about this dish is that I was able to prepare it the morning of the party so all I had to do when I got home was to grill it! The sauce had soaked in the meat by then - delicious!

You can use this sauce with fish, veggies, tofu and any type of ingredient you can think of.
You can make this in advance and take it for lunch with you for a savoury satisfying meal. The possibilities are endless!

Ingredients: (serves 2-4 people)

• 1lb chicken (I used organic skinless boneless chicken)
• (Optional) Veggies like onion, greens

Sauce

• Japanese soy sauce 3 tbsp
• Japanese sake 3 tbsp 
• A little less than 1 tbsp of grated garlic
• Honey 2.5 tbsp

Steps:

1. In a ziploc bag, throw the chicken and the sauce in and massage it. Place it in the fridge over night or for a couple hours before cooking!
2. On a hot pan, throw in some oil (to prevent the meet from sticking) and start grilling the chicken until you see a nice golden burn to it. 
3. Enjoy.
