If you’re a fan of tender, juicy chicken marinated in a rich, sweet, and savory teriyaki glaze, this Grilled Teriyaki Chicken recipe is a must-try. It’s the perfect blend of smoky, charred goodness and bold flavors, making it an ideal dish for weeknight dinners, summer barbecues, or meal prep.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until combined. Reserve half of the mixture for basting and glaze.
Place the chicken in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s fully coated. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 8 hours.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, basting with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of cooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
