Grandma's Teriyaki Marinade

One of my favorite things growing up was my Grandmother Juneko's chicken teriyaki recipe. My mom always prepared it using chicken wings and drumsticks, but now that I'm older I have found it to be delicious as a marinade for everything (Tofu, steak, pork etc.).

This marinade is so simple, and great for those days where you have very little time to prep dinner without sacrificing flavor.


(Please pardon the paper plates -- I was cooking for the Superbowl and was aiming for minimal cleanup!)

You'll need:

1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1/2 Cup Water (or if you're in a hurry you can use sprite and just omit the sugar)
2-3 Garlic Cloves Minced
1 Tbsp. sugar, or to taste.
1lb "Party" Wings


Mix together in a bowl with your chicken wings, cover and let sit for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator. (For the best results allow chicken to marinade overnight!)

Preheat oven to 350° and bake for roughly 30 minutes, or until wings are done and juice runs clear. This recipe is also awesome on the grill if you've got the time and know-how!

Voila! I'm telling you, despite the simplicity it really does pack a punch.
