Notes

Cooking Tips
Light Honey: When making teriyaki chicken with honey, use a light-colored honey such as clover or orange blossom. This will help to produce a more subtle sweetness compared to darker varieties.
Thin Glaze: To make the glaze thinner, add a little water and whisk until combined before brushing it on the chicken.
Sesame Seeds: For extra flavor, sprinkle your chicken with sesame seeds after glazing.
