Japanese Teriyaki Chicken

Japanese Teriyaki Chicken is a popular dish of Japanese cuisine which consists of chicken cooked in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. The marinade is sometimes also enhanced with garlic, ginger, or other spices. The chicken is usually grilled, broiled, or pan-fried and served with the marinade as a glaze. It is a popular dish in Japan and is often served with other dishes such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
