What is? (History/Background)

Chicken has always been a crowd’s favorite at parties or a simple gatherings. Nothing could go wrong when serving chicken bbq. According to history, BBQ dates back to the 50s’ when the Americans started to experiment and flourish. They started it with tough cuts of meat, then smoked for hours and served with variations of sauces from sweet up to spicy and tangy flavors. They believed that slow cooking of the meats infuses flavors and it tenderizes.

  • If you use chicken breast, you may want to adjust the cooking time to 25 minutes to avoid a dry and overcooked breast.
  • The sauce can be prepared ahead of time to develop a deepened flavor as time goes by. Just make sure to place it in the fridge for safekeeping.
  • The teriyaki BBQ sauce can be used in pork, beef, and fish recipes. It is a versatile sauce you can serve depending on your choice of meat.
