Chicken Teriyaki

Chicken Teriyaki a simple dish made from  sweet soy sauce and chicken thighs, It is usually garnished with green onions and sesame seeds. The dish has it roots in Japan but is now common in many many kitchens and restaurant around the world. The recipe can be used with many other meats such as pork, beef, or fish. My personal preference is the chicken version as chicken seems to have the perfect consistency for the dish. Pork seems to heavy, while fish is a little light. As with many foods,  Chicken Teriyaki sauce is available in many supermarkets, but the homemade sauce is far nicer.

I enjoy this dish with some nice dinner rolls ( preferably homemade ones) and a nice rice dish. I also like it served with a nice chablis or white rioja wine as the dish seems a little on the spicy and acidic side. A nice light ale goes well with chicken teriyaki as well.
