Tami’s notes

You can use store-bought teriyaki sauce, but making your own is simple and allows you to control the ingredients. A homemade sauce often tastes fresher and less salty. Adjust the sweetness and saltiness to your preference.

This recipe can be cooked on the grill or baked in the oven. Grilling adds a smoky flavor, while baking ensures even cooking. Choose your preferred method based on equipment and personal taste.
