Easy Grilled Chicken Teriyaki

My husband and I loved the recipe. We marinated it for 1 hour and also put 1/2 as much teriyaki sauce and it was delicious. We left 2 pieces of chicken the full 24 hours and it wasn't as tasty as the day before. I hope this helps! All in all it was really tasty.

I was hungry for chicken teriyaki so I only marinated it for about 5 hours. I didn't have sesame seed oil, so I left that out. Anyway, the chicken tasted great; the flavor went all through it. It was very moist and tender, too. I used about 3/4 cup of teriyaki sauce and everything else in the same proportions, although I had plenty of marinade for 6 chicken breast halves instead of four.

I used about 3/4 cup of teriyaki sauce with sesame seeds already in it, 2 tsp. lime juice, a hearty squeeze of honey from the bottle, 2 tbs. minced garlic, and a small can of pineapple chunks(including the juice). These were the things I had on hand (no sesame oil). I marinaded chicken tenderloin strips in this for about 2 hours. I sprayed the grill with olive oil then put the chicken and pineapple chunks on skewers and grilled them. The whole family enjoyed this yummy "chicken on a stick."

Even marinated for one hour, this recipe was excellent. I added some sweet thai chili sauce for a little spicy kick. I saved the marinade and stir fried it with some cooked spaghetti noodles and made a bed of the noodles for the chicken to lay on. This is definately a family favorite.

Very easy to prepare and so so results. I found the Teriyaki taste to be too strong. I only used 1/2 Cup of the Teriyaki so I can't imagine what the full amount would be!!

This was wonderful. I used chicken leg quarters and grilled them and they were wonderful. If you don't use breasts, marinate them a little longer. I will use this recipe from now on.

This is delicious! I was a bit concerned about it being too salty after I read the previous reviews, so I added a couple of teaspoons of white wine vinegar to the marinade and it was fine (not too salty).

Wow, this recipe was really easy and tasted great. I slow cooked the chicken on the grill and it really kept all of it's flavor.

We all really loved this! I had forgotten about the overnight marinade so I only marinaded for 10 hours, still came out great! We had the chicken as sandwiches with lettuce and tomato and I basted the chiccken all throughout the cooking process. Will make again!

This is an easy to make dish & it tastes wonderful. I didn't need to make any changes. My family loves it and I can't wait to serve it to guests. It went well with fried rice.

This was yummy and incredibly easy. Using other reviewers' suggestions, I added half a can of pineapple chunks (with the juice) and added a big squirt of honey. I used chicken breast cutlets on the George Foreman grill. I forgot to marinate it overnight but put it in the fridge for about 12 hours. The teriyaki sauce I had on hand had garlic in it so I didn't add more. I also didn't have sesame oil on hand and just went without it. I served it with white rice and if I had had more time, I would've added steamed broccoli.

GREAT marinade! We really liked it and will make it again. I agree to reduce the teriyaki sauce to 2/3 cup. I used 3/4 c. and it was just slightly too salty still. I added 2 diced green onions/scallions to the marinade and a dash of ginger as suggested by others. This was probably one of the best marinades we have ever had. Only had time to marinade the meat about 2 hours but still perfect. P.S. I had originally rated this recipe a 4 stars, but my husband asked me to reconsider since he loved it so much. After preparing and eating this again with the same excellent results, I had to agree with him!

This was an awesome recipe! I followed the ingredients but made 3/4 of the recipe and had plenty of sauce. I saved about 1/4 cup and basted the chicken as it was cooking on the BBQ. We loved the flavor, I haven't ever used sesame oil and I couldn't believe how much it changed the flavor (for the better!) This was probably the best chicken that I have ever made on the grill, it was so moist too! Thanks for the great recipe!

I'm sure if you get actual teriyaki sauce (thick, made to put over prepared chicken) then this would really be easy and delicious. If you purchased the more runny, saltier teriyaki marinade by accident, here's what I did: In a sauce pan, add the marinade, water, sugar (lots of it), honey, the sesame oil, lemon juice and garlic. Mix it and when it comes to a boil and reduces, taste it. if it still isn't sweet enough, add sugar to taste. I added peanut butter for a Thai twist and it came out pretty tasty!

This chicken is amazing! Use Organicville's Sesame Teriyaki Sauce, can be found at Costco. So much better than other brands we have tried. My husband cooks this chicken in his smoker.

this is wonderful. I marinated the chicken in teriyaki sauce overnight. grilled the chicken then stir fried some veggies and tossed everything together. served over white rice. delicious! (hint, the BEST teriyaki sauce available is mr yoshidas, available only at costco or sams.. i think you can also order it online) you'll get hooked ;)

Perfect, but only marinate for a few hours -- 24 hours is too long.

If I make this again I will use white wine instead of lemon juice plus add a little molasses and brown sugar. I just think a touch of sweet would make this recipe come alive.

This was so easy to make! Since it's the dead of winter, I used my George Foreman grill. That worked great! Flavor was good and very tasty! I will make this again.

This chicken was soo tender! I did end up added ginger and onion powder also used canola oil. I agree this was a little bit salty but I never like chicken breast on the grill and this was great.

I would not make this again. It just tasted salty, with no other taste. Followed the recipe exactly.

This is a great recipe! I added pineapple and honey to it so it gave it a really great taste! I'm excited about fixing it again!

I saved 1/4 of the marinade to pour on chicken at table. I marinated chicken for 2 hours. That was enough time for the flavors to penetrate the chicken.

Only marinaded for a couple of hours and made kabobs out of them. I didn't have problem with saltiness and they were excellent. The kids, DH and I loved them. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Completely yummy! Great for slicing over salads, too--just a wonderful flavor, hard to stop picking!! Will definitely be a standard at our grill this summer.

Wow...This recipe proves that all marinades are not created equal. I marinated for 24 hours and basted honey on while grilling. These were so flavorful and tender. One thing I might try is a lower sodium teriyaki sauce as they were slightly salty.

I followed recipe with the below changes: Used Legs & Split Breast w/bones-cut it right down the breast bone making each big breast into 2-trimmed any hanging fat w/scissors of chicken pieces. Made double batch-used extra garlic-cut fresh & chunky.I keep fresh peeled garlic in my freezer and use it as needed.I added some honey-maybe a 1/4 cup per batch to teriyaki and fresh lemon juice per recipe. - put in big gallon zip lock and tossed chicken. Marinated overnight. Cooked chicken with generous amount of sauce from marination in a 350 degree oven in large cast iron pan, covered, about an hour. Wood burning Big Green Egg grill outdoors was heated up. Put chicken on grill and grilled both sides for flavor & look. Mopped it a bit with the teriyaki out of the cast pan. We closed the cooker at times to give it the smoky flavor. I sliced a whole pineapple into rings- coated in seaseme oil. As we removed chicken, I put on the rings and gave them a grilled look and flavor. While chicken was on grill, I added some powdered arrow root to slightly thicken the teriyaki sauce in the cast pan. Corn starch would be fine too- just a very small amount. After it looked grilled, I put it all back in the cast iron pan and basted with the sauce from the pan. I brought back in the house. On the stove, I cooked some brown sugar, butter and used some of the teriyaki sauce still left in the bag from the marination. As this had raw poultry in it, it is important to let it come to a bubbly boil.

I like this recipe even better substituting 1/4 cup peanut butter for the sesame oil and lime juice instead of lemon juice. Reserve some of the sauce before marinating so you can dip the cooked chicken. Delicious!

I made this chicken 3 times and it's incredible. It comes out best if you marinate it for 24 hours.

This was wonderful. I only marinated it about 3-4 hrs and it was very tasty. I cooked it on the george foreman grill because it was too cold to grill outside. It did get a little too "blackened" and I thought it would taste bad but I was wrong... it was great! Thanks for the recipe I will be making this often.

I give this a five star because it was really easy and it was a really food flavor. Very different and very amazing!!

delicious - what more needs to be said!

very tasty. lemon gives it a great tangy flavor.

I expected this recipe to be really good judging from the reviews, but my husband and I were very disappointed. There is no other way to say it -- the flavor was terrible. We couldn't eat more than a few bites without having to heat up leftovers.

Ok, but kind of plain.

Very good! Will make again.

This was fantastic and so easy to make! We used boneless breasts, boneless thighs and shrimp. Cut chicken in bite size pieces, put on skewers and cooked on grill. Only marinated for a few hours and it was great. According to my 15 year old son, it was "mad fresh"!!!!!

I loved this "T's mom"! I was cleaning out my freezer and found one lonely chicken breast. I decided to make this for my lunch today and it was so good. Didn't add or change a darn thing except that I wish I had more for lunch tomorrow! Thanks so much!!

very salty, i made this exactly as the recipe stated and it was soooo salty. i did marinade for 24hrs so maybe that did it. ill try it again and marinade less time.

This was so easy to make! Since it's the dead of winter, I used my George Foreman grill. That worked great! Flavor was good and very tasty! I will make this again.

This is good every time! And its so fast and easy to prepare.

Very good Recipe went over great at the house after only 10 hours in the fridge. Leftovers sat for 2 days only to be brought to a big BBQ, which people enjoyed there. There is a lot of flavor and I didn't really need to bast any of the marinade on.

Excellent! I doubled the recipe for 6 large chicken breasts, and only had time to marinate for 1 hour. Based on "LOVESTOEAT" comments, I used only 1.5 c. teriyaki (low sodium) vs. 2 cups, and all the other ingredients as written. I hand squeezed lemons for the lemon juice and used minced garlic from a jar. Used toasted sesame oil, which adds a lot of flavor! I got lots of compliments from my guests, and I thought it was delicious!

very salty, chicken was moist and tender, use low sodium teriyaki sauce

This chicken recipe turned out great! They were incredibly juicy. I would cut down on the lemon juice--it seemed to overtake the teriyaki flavor.

Very good and I didn't even marinate it for 24 hours, just 5. Super easy to throw together and gave the chicken great flavor.

Very yummy! I actually have no idea how much teriyaki sauce I put in, but it was good.

Too salty! Not sure if it's because I marinated for too long (7 hours) or the teriyaki sauce I used (Kikkoman). Wouldn't try again.

I have made this recipe twice using my counter top rotisserie. Once with a small whole chicken on the spit and once with pieces using the rotisserie container.Marinated overnight. I saved a little marinade to baste as they cooked. It was wonderful each time. So if you happen to live where grills are not allowed you can still have great "grilled" foods like this.

Delicious! I had forgotten just how good teriyaki is - and believe me, this is one good teriyaki!

This is a very good, classic teryaki chicken recipe and is now one of our favorites!

Good recipe, not to strong of flavor will be using this all summer

I pounded the chicken breasts just a little bit and marinated for 24 hours and the results were fantastic. Silky chicken, very tender and it got rave results at the BBQ I made it for.

We did this recipe with chicken legs. It was very easy, tasty. I suggest definitely marinating for the time specified.

I think this would have been awesome but I made a crucial error which I hope to remedy next time. I marinated drumsticks overnight but I didn't have a plastic bag big enough so I stuck them in a pan. This really didn't allow them to properly marinate so even though they were SUPER tender off the grill, they weren't as flavorful as I had hoped. However, to the person who suggested stir-frying the leftover marinade with noodles was genius! The noodles were so delicious! I will definitely make this again because of how good the noodles were, but I will try boneless breasts and use a plastic bag!!

The recipe came out good. Next time I will give the chicken more time to marinated in the sauce.

One of the better chicken teriyaki recipes that I've found, and so easy to prepare! The long marinade really helps but I've found over the several times I've made it, marinading for a few hours is just fine.

this recipe was delicious! i didnt marinate it for 24hrs, i only marinated it for 5 hours and it tasted soo good! i also used low sodium teriyaki sauce because of the salt content, and made a basting sauce with ketchup, mustard, seasame oil, teriyaki sauce! it was soo moist! i will definitely make again!

Simple and delicious!!!

I made this a few days ago and couldn't believe how delicious this was. It was a pain to have to marinate the chicken for 24 hours but so worth it. This will definately become one of my staple recipes for chicken! My neighbor loved it too!!

This was very good. Everyone liked it. Made as stated except added a squirt of honey and one of the kids tropical fruit cups to the marinade.

Chicken is a family favorite in our home. The lemon juice & grated garlic added some zesty flavor to this recipe and made our meal ever so appetizing. A great idea to lightly oil the grate.

The marinade was great and very tasty. I have made this recipe multiple times since saving a month ago!

A chicken teriyaki is my all-time favorite chicken recipe and this really makes my day great for it has a delightful savor. Want to try a spectacular chicken dishes from different cuisines, wikichicken is the only site which can give you so much chicken recipes! Take a look for it now!

We really enjoyed this recipe, although we didn't have the full 24 hour time marinating. We had closer to 1 hour, but we did cut the pieces prior to marinating, put them on skewers, and grilled them. We didn't have the sesame oil, but did add some pineapple juice (since we were grilling the pineapple too!) The hubby and kids (4 and 6) all loved this and we didn't even have any left overs!

Love it! I bake the chicken for 20 minutes and then grill it for 5-10 and then put it over white rice. It's amazing.

Use boneless skinless chicken thighs! Chicken breasts will be too dry. Use straight soy sauce, instead of the teriyaki "sauce", which is way too salty. You usually find these "Chicken on a Stick" at fairs and festivals and always sell out.

The chicken turned out pretty well, though slightly dry. I marinated it for almost 24 hours. I forgot to pierce the chicken before putting it in the marinade...I think that would have helped.

This is so good. I used 4 oz chicken breasts and they cooked up really well on the grill. I wish I had made more of the sauce for the rice I served it with though. I may have to make a side of it next time.

This makes for great BBQ'd chicken. I did add a bit of pineapple juice to the marinade. We couldn't believe how well the flavors blended and tasted after cooking. Yum!

So delicious!!! the chicken was tender and sticky and oh soooo yummy! i took it as an appetizer for the lake & everybody loved it! They loved it soooo much that the chicken ended up being eaten as it was coming off the grill! A favorite and definetly planning on making in the near future! thanks for sharing!!!!

I'm not a big teriyaki fan and this dish was awesome. I also used 3/4 cups of teriyaki because that is all I had - worked perfectly. Put the chicken over quinoa and literally dipped my forkful's into the sauce - it was that good.

(My "quickness" rating takes into account the 24hrs of marinating; of course, it cooks very quickly.) I think the lemon juice nicely counteracts what I consider the too sweet nature of most teriyaki sauces. I admit to using just a tad more garlic, but that is s.o.p. in my house. I think the flavors blend so well that they belie the simplicity of the marinade. Served over a bed of brown rice (cooked in chicken broth) and accompanied by a romaine/watercress salad dressed with a simple vinaigrette, this makes a delightful summer supper.

Chicken Breast is very tasty. All flavors stand out and chicken is not dry at all.

It was quite tasty!

This was VERY good, especially given the few ingredients and minimal prep time. The chicken was very flavorful, and I boiled the marinade and served it over rice and it was SOOOO good! Will definitely keep this recipe.

Tasty!

This has an excellent flavor-none of the ingredients are too strong. I actually ran out of sesame oil, so I just used Becel oil-it was still fantastic! This marinade would be really good on salmon,too.Josie

Great recipe!! The lower rating for quickness reflects the time required to marinate. Cooking is fast! This chicken has a superb flavor due to the sesame oil. My husband even liked it and I am certain my kids will too when they are home next time. Thanks for the great recipes!

Great!

Excellent Marinade Recipe. Very easy. Lots of flavor! Will definitely make again.

Made this last night, but instead of chicken breasts I used chicken tenders and found the teriyaki to be very overpowering! Maybe marinate for less time and use less teriyaki next time.

Everything about this recipe was easy and tasty! It's the kind of thing that everything you need is in your pantry!

Very tasty and easy to make!

Loved this chicken. Used grape oil was only change.

This is a keeper! Family loved it.

Great recipe! Family loved it! Will definitely make again.

Marinated for 48 hours. Grilled bone-in thighs, skin side up, for 55 min over indirect coals but did not turn. Skin was crisp like it had been fried. Boiled the marinade and brushed on after 30 min and then at the table. Was not salty at all. My guests went crazy over the flavor!

I have found that some marinades can be left too long - soy or teriyaki especially. I have learned to only marinate a few hours or less - not all night, and never 24 hours. Gets so overwhelming.

I cooked this recipe on a griddle and cut it up in small pieces like in a Japanese restuarant. It was great! I will definitely make it again.

It seems that we only use the grill for steak & burgers, and for chicken & pork, I use the oven or stove top methods. So, after reading how simple this recipe was, I bravely moved out of my comfort zone. I used 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, 3/4 cup of teriyaki, 1/8 of a cup of lemon juice (fearful it would taste too lemony if I used more)and marinated the chicken for 7 hours. The chicken turned out delicious!! Almost like we knew what we were doing! Seved it with scalloped potatoes and cauliflower/olive salad. A terrific change up for us that will definitely be repeated in the future.

This was so juicy and flavorful. Loved it!! I followed the recipe exactly.

Easy...delicious.

The flavor was excellant and so easy to prepare. The chicken was so tender. This recipe is definetely a keeper!

We loved this easy recipe! I made a couple changes, I used a honey teriyaki sauce, and didn't use sesame oil (I need to buy some for next time). Next time I'll add a bit more garlic. This has such a great taste, and is definitely easy for a weeknight dinner. This is a keeper! Thanks T's Mom for sharing!

My husband and I loved it. But the kids insisted on barbecue sauce

This was excellent and very easy...even my toddler who hates to eat meat loved it.

I made this a little while ago, but I haven't written a review until now. We love it when we tried it the first time. I've been trying different variations of it since. I think I omitted the sesame oil because I didn't have any one hand, and it was still a great flavor. I've tried adding more or less garlic or lemon juice, and all the variations have been great. It's so simple too. I love it.

Easy and absolutely delicious! The aroma was so good my husband couldn't wait for me to get them off the grill!
