Cook's Tip: Chicken Teriyaki makes a good sandwich filling. Let it cool in the marinade so that it remains moist and succulent Watercress goes well with the chicken, as would a little pickled ginger.

Variation: This Japanese classic has gained exceptional popularity in the United States, where it is served at food outlets nationwide. Some recipes add fresh ginger; and a tablespoon or honey or maple syrup instead of the sugar to sweeten the marinade.
