Grilled Teriyaki Chicken

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Teriyaki Chicken.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and whisk together the teriyaki sauce, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and a splash of sesame oil until everything is beautifully blended.

2. Step 2

   Next, pour this delicious marinade into a resealable plastic bag and gently add the chicken breasts.

3. Step 3

   Seal the bag, making sure to squeeze out any excess air, and give the chicken a good massage to ensure it’s thoroughly coated in that flavorful marinade.

4. Step 4

   Now, let the chicken soak up all those tasty flavors in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or if you have the time, let it marinate overnight.

5. Step 5

   Just remember to give the bag a little turn every now and then for even marination.

6. Step 6

   When you’re ready to fire up the grill, preheat it to high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to keep your chicken from sticking.

7. Step 7

   Take the chicken out of the marinade, giving it a little shake to remove any extra liquid, and toss the leftover marinade away.

8. Step 8

   Place the chicken on the hot grill and let it cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side.

9. Step 9

   You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
