Teriyaki Chicken Appetizer

Teriyaki Chicken AppetizerEvery time we order take-out Chinese food, my boyfriend always gets the teriyaki chicken. Today I decide to make a home-made teriyaki chicken that’s just as good as the take-out order for him!

Teriyaki chicken is actually a very easy dish to make. The first step is making the teriyaki sauce. I whisked equal amounts of mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine), sugar and Chinese dark soy sauce together in a sauce pan and brought to a boil over medium-low heat until the sugar’s dissolved.

Teriyaki SauceWhen the teriyaki sauce is ready, I poured the sauce over the chicken and marinated for an hour. After roasting at 350 degrees (Fahrenheit) in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, this is what the final product looked like.

Teriyaki Chicken I am very excited to share this recipe with you guys, I think you are going to like this dish. What people normally do is putting the teriyaki chicken over a bowl of rice and add steamed broccoli to make a rice bowl dish. I think it’s also a great appetizer served by itself!
