Teriyaki Chicken

Teriyaki chicken is a popular Japanese dish consisting of chicken glazed in a sweet and savory sauce made primarily of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. The term "teriyaki" is derived from the Japanese words "teri," which refers to the glossy appearance of the sauce, and "yaki," meaning grilled or broiled. In Hebrew, the dish is known as סטרייק טרייאקי (strike teriyaki). Other translations include pollo teriyaki in Spanish, poulet teriyaki in French, and Hühnchen teriyaki in German. The dish is typically prepared by grilling or broiling chicken pieces that have been marinated or basted with the teriyaki sauce. The sauce's sweetness caramelizes during cooking, creating a flavorful crust on the chicken. Teriyaki chicken is often served with steamed rice and vegetables, and it is a staple in Japanese cuisine, as well as a common dish in Japanese-inspired cuisines worldwide.
