How will you prepare it?
Preparation
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and optionally some garlic powder.
Make Sauce
Mix the soy sauce, mirin, water, sugar, ginger, and garlic thoroughly in a small bowl.
Grilling
Ensure the BBQ is set up with a direct and indirect zone. Grill the chicken thighs over high heat directly above the coals until they have nice grill marks (they don't need to be fully cooked yet).
Simmer & Thicken
Place a cast iron skillet (or pan) on the indirect part of the BBQ (or over low heat). Place the chicken in the pan and pour the mixed sauce over it.
Let it simmer gently until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has become nicely sticky. If necessary, add a little cornstarch (mixed with water) to bind the sauce further.
Serving
Serve the delicious Chicken Teriyaki with rice or noodles and fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
