This versatile recipe for Gingery Teriyaki Chicken can be cooked on the grill, in the oven or even on stove top.

When grilling chicken, reserve and reduce marinade for a deliciously sticky sauce.

I use a similar recipe as this one except for the beer. I use sherry instead but beer sounds interesting too. And I serve with stir fry Bok Choy or Broccoli with ginger and garlic.

Lorraine,

Love this recipe! But I experienced something of a catastrophe last night when I made it. It was such a catastrophe that it warranted its own blog post. You can check it out here:

@Karen: This is a very malleable recipe–I’ve also made it with white wine. Sherry sounds yum!

@Jeff: So sorry about the disaster in your kitchen–but must say, it made a fun read! Check out Jeff’s catastrophe at http://www.catholicfoodie.com/2009/05/another-culinary-catastrophe.html
