Home made Teriyaki Sauce

This grilled teriyaki rooster recipe begins with a VERY easy do-it-yourself teriyaki sauce.

FIRST: Simmer collectively soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and unseasoned rice vinegar till the sugar dissolves.

SECOND: reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce and pop it within the fridge to make use of later.

Rooster Thighs vs Rooster Breasts

Pour the blended sauce combination over the rooster and marinate for at the least an hour, however ideally extra like 8-12 hours.

I’m not often persuaded to make use of rooster thighs over rooster breasts, however on this recipe, boneless, skinless rooster thighs actually shine. They’re juicy and flavorful, and all of their flaws-according-to-Mel can largely be forgiven.

If you wish to use rooster breasts, solely marinate for as much as 4 hours and regulate the cooking time so the rooster breasts don’t overcook.

Hold the Sauce

As soon as the rooster is minimize into slices, take the reserved marinade and drizzle frivolously over the rooster.

The sauce is deliciously potent and highly effective, so a little bit bit goes a good distance!
