About this recipe

Smoky, sticky, and just the right amount of spicy, these teriyaki chicken thighs bring bold flavor straight to the grill. The sweet-savory glaze caramelizes beautifully over the flames, while a little heat keeps things interesting. If you’re looking for a spicy teriyaki chicken recipe that feels restaurant-worthy but totally doable at home, this one delivers.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use thighs, not breasts. Chicken thighs stay juicier on the grill and handle high heat better—perfect for teriyaki chicken on grill recipes.
  • Let it rest. Give grilled teriyaki chicken 5 minutes before slicing so the juices redistribute and every bite stays tender.

THE STORY OF SOY SAUCE

Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
