    I cooked this for my kids tonight and it was a big hit; the kids ate their chicken and kept saying "yum". Thanks so much for sharing!

      Love this simple and tasty classic. We use a whole chicken cut in half, then cook over a hot BBQ skin side up first, then turning after about 10 minutes. This is a perfect summer treat. Good with Edamame and Kim Chee.

        Wow! I never knew it was so simple. The only think I'm missing is the sake. Thanks!

            I cooked this last night! Tasted great!! Easy and quick to make!! Since I already had pre-prepared Teriyaki sauce, I used it instead of recipe listed. I served it with steamed rice and pork dumplings.
