A delightful recipe for grilled chicken served with a rich and flavorful homemade teriyaki glaze, perfect for a family dinner.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, honey, ground ginger, and garlic powder to create the marinade.
Ensure the marinade is well mixed for consistent flavor.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Marinating overnight will enhance the flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, honey, ground ginger, and garlic powder for the glaze.
Stir continuously to avoid burning.
Bring the glaze mixture to a gentle boil, then add the cornstarch mixed with water to thicken.
Cook until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
Grill the chicken breasts, basting with the glaze occasionally, until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F internally.
Serve the grilled chicken topped with the remaining glaze and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
Pair with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
