I loved this recipe and so did hubby. I subbed honey for the sugar and used skinless thighs. We loved the sauce on our rice. Next time I will double the sauce so we have more for the rice.

If I'd known how easy and delicious homemade teriyaki sauce was, I'd have made it a long time ago! My boyfriend and I were impressed with the flavors in this dish. He's not a dark meat fan, so instead of doing all chicken legs, I made it with a whole, skinned, cut-up chicken. Both white and dark meat were delicious! I served this with this chef's skillet corn (recipe #379314), and it was a great combo. Will absolutely be making this again. Made for Pick a Chef, Spring 2011.
