This Asian sauce is really delicious in chicken dishes. Teriyaki sauce is famous for its savory-salty-sweet flavor. It primarily consists of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey, and mirin. Apart from providing a salty-sweet flavor to grilled meats and vegetables, Teriyaki also adds an amber-colored gloss to them. While it goes best with grilled chicken, the sauce can also be used in place of barbecue sauce on ribs.
