My family loves chicken, I mean LOVES chicken. My husband and two year old daughter could eat it every single day. Since chicken is pretty much a blank canvas – easily dressed up with sauce, spices, or marinades – it’s fun to find new and interesting ways to prepare one of their favourite foods.
Teriyaki sauce can sometimes be sticky and a little tart, Apple Teriyaki Chicken’s sauce is lightly sweetened with apple sauce, honey, and sugar. This chicken is definitely not too sweet. The sweetness of the sauce is perfectly balanced with the spice of garlic and ginger, the tart of apple cider vinegar, and the salty, earthy flavour of soy sauce. The icing on this already tasty chicken is sesame seeds, adding a fun little crunch and a rich, nutty flavour.
