Chicken Teriyaki

Chicken teriyaki is a popular Japanese food and is I think a variant of the beef teriyaki. This is a simpler and easy to cook teriyaki dish compared to beef teriyaki and requires less cooking time. This this is so popular that there are many versions of chicken teriyaki. But one ingredient that must not be left out to make your teriyaki sauce as authentic as possible is the use of sake or Japanese rice wine. But you can always substitute it with dry sherry or sometimes white wine is used.
