Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour, but overnight is best. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more tender.
- Use a good quality soy sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce.
- If you don't have mirin, you can substitute sake or dry sherry.
- Serve the teriyaki chicken over rice or noodles.
- Top the teriyaki chicken with your favorite toppings, such as green onions, sesame seeds, or shredded carrots.
