This was a big hit! My husband ate the equivalent of two chicken breasts at one sitting. I used the marinade to baste some tofu for the vegetarian daughter and she loved it as well! I did not add the sugar and obviously it was good without it. But I think that I would like the addition of the sugar to offset the saltiness of the teriyaki sauce. Will add that next time. Thanks for sharing!

I made this for a main dish, and left out the sugar at my guys' request. My son even asked for seconds, which is very rare. I was very happy to discover this gem. Made for Bargain Basement Tag.
