We eat this teriyaki chicken all summer long! It's so easy to toss on the grill for a simple summer dinner and the marinade only takes about 5 minutes of prep work!

Notes
- We use regular soy sauce here, but reduced sodium will also work well if you'd like more control over the salt content. After whisking the marinade together, taste and add additional salt if needed before adding the chicken.
- To add a little spice, whisk in some sriracha or red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- We are partial to chicken breasts, but you can use this marinade with any cut of chicken or even pork chops!
