Tips & Tricks
For a more intense flavor, marinate the chicken wings in the teriyaki sauce for 1-2 hours before cooking.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer the teriyaki sauce for a few extra minutes until it reduces to your desired consistency.
Serve with freshly steamed rice for a traditional Japanese touch.
