Ingredients
While the original Japanese teriyaki is known for its soy sauce and mirin-based marinade, our Arab-style Teriyaki Chicken incorporates traditional Arab spices and flavors. We have replaced soy sauce with a combination of aromatic spices, such as cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, to infuse the chicken with a unique Arabian twist. The result is a tantalizing fusion of sweet and savory flavors that will transport your taste buds to the Middle East. We alse have the original recipe for Teriyaki, so you can check it out.
