MY CHICKEN TERIYAKI RECIPE

Here in UAE, chicken is the most available and affordable meat you could find in every supermarket or grocery stores. Most of the time, you will always find it on sale items. You will also notice that in every occasion you will find chicken dishes cooked in different way. That maybe is the reason why I have chicken skin (just kidding).

The recipe below is my own version of chicken teriyaki. I once cooked it while following a cooking show, but some of the ingredients were not available so I just substitute it for some ingredients that are available and affordable. I hope that you would like it.

INGREDIENTS:

1 kg                       Chicken
