Method
Preparation of Chicken
Marinate Chicken
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Making Teriyaki Sauce
Prepare Teriyaki Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Thicken the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the saucepan, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Grilling
Grill Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Glaze with Sauce
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with the teriyaki sauce, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Serving
Garnish and Serve
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
