Teriyaki Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut in half
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

  • Rinse chicken halves, and pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken cut side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine sugar, soy sauce, grated ginger and garlic. Mix well, and pour mixture over chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake chicken uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 hour, basting frequently. Test for doneness, making sure there is no pink left in the meat. Let cool slightly, then cut into smaller pieces to serve.
