chicken teriyaki

Chicken teriyaki is a Japanese dish featuring tender pieces of chicken that are cooked and glazed with a sweet and savory sauce called teriyaki. The sauce is typically made from soy sauce, mirin (sweet rice wine), sugar, and sometimes sake, which gives it a glossy finish and rich flavor. The chicken is usually grilled, pan-fried, or broiled, then coated with the sauce to absorb its taste. Served over rice or vegetables, chicken teriyaki offers a balance of salty, sweet, and umami flavors, making it a popular and flavorful meal.
