Sweet, savoury, and glossy — homemade teriyaki chicken that's miles better than bottled sauce. Tender chicken thighs glazed in a perfectly balanced sauce of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar. A Japanese-Canadian favourite that's become a weeknight staple from coast to coast.

Pro Tips

  • 1Real mirin makes a difference — look for hon-mirin, not aji-mirin.

  • 3The sauce should coat the chicken like a glaze.

Variations

  • Grilled: grill chicken and brush with sauce.
  • Use salmon instead of chicken for teriyaki salmon.
  • Add pineapple for a sweet tropical version.
  • Teriyaki bowl with edamame and pickled ginger.
