- Heat a grill or cast iron pan over high heat and cook 6-7 minutes on each side to get a nice sear. Brush the teriyaki sauce on. Cook for another 3-4 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.

Notes
You can use chicken breasts instead if you prefer.
The longer the teriyaki chicken marinade together the more flavor it will have. I typically shoot for 24 hours.
If you don't have an outdoor grill you can use a smokeless indoor grill like this one.
I recommend using a digital meat thermometer to know when the chicken has reached the correct doneness.
