Broiled Chicken Teriyaki - Japanese

This was taken from a cookbook I found at the library last year. It was so good, I made it often. It's time to throw the hard copy away, and so I'm posting it here on my blog today. :)


"One of the tastiest yakimono dishes is teriyaki, meat or seafood broiled with a sauce that gives it a shiny, glazed coating. This simplified recipe is baked in the oven instead of broiled, as broiled food can burn easily. Beef, pork, shrimp, and soe kinds of fish are also delicious prepared with teriyaki sauce."

1/2 c. soy sauce
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. fresh ginger root, grated
3 tbsp. sesame seeds
1 1/2 to 2-lb chicken, cut into serving pieces

1. preheat oven to 375F
2. combine soy sauce, sugar, ginger root, and sesame seeds in a large bowl.
3. Place chicken in a baking dish and pour sauce over it. Bake for 45 minutes. Brush on more sauce as chicken bakes (about every 15 minutes.)

Preparation time: 15 - 20 minutes
