Recipe #23 and #24: Grilled Teriyaki Chicken and Sesame Spiced Potatoes

We grilled again tonight! I love it. While we were grilling the propane tank ran out...oh dear! Thankfully my sister and brother-in-law live next door and we were able to borrow theirs! What will happen when they move?!

Well, tonight's menu was my all time favorite grilled chicken recipe...Teriyaki Chicken! It is a great marinade that can be used on steak as well. People love it.

For the marinade you need:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp brown sugar
3 mashed cloves garlic ( I used 2 Tbsp minced garlic)
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger (I use 1 Tbsp ground if I don't have fresh)
2 Tbsp mirin

Combine ingredients and mix well. I usually do it in a tupperware so you can close the lid and shake it. (Just make sure you close it tight!) Then add the chicken. I used 4 breast and cut them smaller so that they grill faster. Marinate for 4-12 hours (less does work too!) Baste with marinade while grilling.

While that is grilling you can cut up some potatoes, put them in a bag, and shake it up with some sesame spice rub. I found it today in an Everyday Food magazine. (Amazing magazine by the way). I only used a fourth of it  because it was just potatoes. It was suggested that you use it with pork or chicken as well.

But for a small amount with about 9 cut up potatoes you need:
1 Tbsp paprika
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp sesame seeds
pinch of pepper

Add to a small container with a lid. Close and shake well. Add to ziploc of potatoes and shake up.

Delicious!
