The word “teriyaki” is actually a derivative of the Japanese words , meaning the shine or luster given by the sauce, and , which refers to the process of grilling or broiling of the chicken (or whatever you’re “shining” up with the glaze). Much like the classic Japanese preparations of this dish, Trader Joe's BBQ Teriyaki Chicken is pretty simple. Establishing the foundation for this classic dish is our marinated, BBQ dark chicken meat. And topping it off is a traditional soy-based sauce that would be used just fine to drench only the included chicken, but consider allowing it to soak through a carefully made bed of white or brown rice dressed with those same tender chicken pieces.
