Archive story

Teriyaki Chicken became popular on the West Coast of the United States during the post-World War II era as backyard grilling and suburban lifestyles flourished. Drawing on teriyaki sauces from Japanese cuisine, this dish was adapted by home cooks to fit American grilling preferences. Marinated chicken grilled and basted with teriyaki glaze was perfect for backyard gatherings and epitomized the era's culinary fusion. The recipe remains a classic for backyard cookouts and family meals on the West Coast.
