So, how do y'all whip up savory teriyaki chicken? Been experimenting in my kitchen but can't nail that rich, umami-packed flavor. Tried messing with soy sauce ratios, even threw in some brown sugar and ginger. Still, something's missing. Could use some pointers or secret ingredients you swear by. Let's swap tips!

I think using a balance of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a touch of sweetness like honey or brown sugar can make teriyaki chicken savory. Though, everyone's taste is different, so feel free to adjust to your liking!

One trick for extra savory teriyaki chicken is to marinate it longer, allowing the flavors to really soak in. You can also add garlic and ginger to the marinade for an extra punch of flavor, and don't forget a touch of sesame oil for that classic Asian taste!
