Dark Meat vs. White Meat
I use Chicken Thighs for this recipe. But you could use chick breast instead of chicken thighs depending on your preference. Usually, you can use them interchangeably ad then for some recipes, depending on the thickness of the chicken you may need to adjust the timing.
Basically – just make sure that the chicken is thoroughly cooked before serving!
If you’re curious about the differences between the two, here’s an article all about it.
With all that said, I do recommend Chicken Thighs though because it does come out more juicy and more tender.
How to make grilled teriyaki chicken
First gather your ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup of soy sauce
- 1/4 cup of honey
- 1/4 cup rice cooking wine
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
In a large zip lock bag or mixing bowl mix together soy sauce, honey, rice cooking wine, and garlic, and add chicken. Make sure to coat chicken in the marinade and allow it to rest in the marinade.

Allow this to marinade at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. The longer the tastier!
Preheat your grill to high heat. Add the chicken to the grill and cook on each side 3-4 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink.

Serve!
