Notes
The marinade — While marinating the chicken for two hours would be just fine, marinate it for at least four hours for the best results. This will allow the chicken to fully incorporate the marinade.
Make ahead — If you suspect that you will be short on time, you can always prepare the marinade beforehand. Simply mix the teriyaki sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl and store the mixture in your fridge, covered. It will last for four days.
