Teriyaki marinade that is simple to make and goes well with chicken or beef.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Soy Sauce (I highly recommend Kikkoman brand for this recipe)
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Fresh garlic (minced)
- 3 Tablespoons Fresh ginger (minced)
- Fresh ground black pepper
- 8 Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (trimmed of excess fat)
Note
This teriyaki marinade works well with beef or chicken, but my favorite cut of meat for this is boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I've found the thighs retain their moisture and the flavor of the marinade very well.
