Teriyaki Chicken is a popular Japanese dish made by grilling or broiling chicken that has been marinated in a sweet and savory sauce. The sauce typically consists of soy sauce, mirin (a sweet rice wine), and sugar, which gives the chicken its distinctive glossy finish and rich flavor. This dish is often served with steamed rice and vegetables, making it a balanced meal. Teriyaki cooking can also be applied to other proteins, such as beef or fish, but chicken remains the most common choice due to its tenderness and ability to absorb flavors well.
