Teriyaki chicken is a traditional preparation from Japanese cuisine that has won over palates around the world, including Latin America. The term "teriyaki" comes from the Japanese words "teri," meaning shine or luster, and "yaki," which refers to grilling or broiling. This cooking method uses a sweet and salty sauce that gives the food a characteristic flavor and a very appetizing shine. In several Latin American countries, this recipe maintains its original name "teriyaki," although in some regions it is simply known as grilled chicken with sweet sauce. Its popularity lies in the simplicity of its ingredients and the exquisite combination of sweet and salty, which easily adapts to different culinary styles and tastes.
