Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts*

  • green onions or toasted sesame seeds for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • In a bowl or resealable bag, combine chicken and ¾ cup teriyaki sauce.
  • Marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard marinade.
  • Grill the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165℉.
  • Brush chicken with remaining ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with green onions or toasted sesame seeds (if using).

  • If using chicken breasts, carefully pound to ½-inch thickness with the flat side of a meat mallet. 
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
