  • ¼ cup Mogen David concord white wine or equivalent optional
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ounce garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate MSG or Accent (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare Teriyaki Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, white wine (if using), brown sugar, garlic powder, and monosodium glutamate (if using).

  • Remove the chicken pieces from the teriyaki sauce and place them on a broiler pan or baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
  • Broil or bake the chicken until they are browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes, depending on your cooking method.
  • Finish with Sauce: Optionally, dip the cooked chicken pieces back into the teriyaki sauce, then broil or bake for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

Serve the chicken teriyaki hot, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
