Origins of Teriyaki Chicken
The origins of Teriyaki chicken can be traced back to Japan, where the term "teriyaki" refers to a cooking technique that involves grilling or broiling food while basting it with a glaze made from soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar.

This method of preparation dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when it was primarily used for fish and meat, showcasing the Japanese emphasis on umami flavours and the art of presentation.

Over time, the technique evolved, and Teriyaki chicken emerged as a popular dish, particularly in the post-World War II era, when Japanese cuisine began to gain international recognition.

The dish's appeal lies not only in its savoury-sweet flavour, but also in its versatility, as it can be served in various forms, such as grilled, stir-fried, or even as a filling in sushi.

Today, Teriyaki chicken is enjoyed worldwide, often adapted to suit local tastes while still honoring its traditional roots.
