Everyone needs a fabulous Teriyaki Marinade recipe in their cooking life. I don’t always like to use the words “The BEST’ when it comes to a recipe because that gets boring when you see it over and over and over from every food blogger out there, but there are about ten times on this website that I have.
When I do, let me assure you, the recipe is always the best that I have ever tasted! With that said, this actually is THE BEST Teriyaki Marinade Recipe!
This all came about thanks to my need for a copycat Red Robin’s Teriyaki Chicken Burger. I actually hadn’t tried the burger; I was just craving a chicken teriyaki burger and remembered seeing it on the menu one time.
Then I realized that I don’t actually have a tried-and-true teriyaki marinade recipe. Bear with me; my children are just venturing into the land of normal eating, so teriyaki marinade isn’t really something I worried about before.
Thanks to the burger, however, I now have an excellent teriyaki marinade that I will use time and time again!
Those are my chicken burgers marinading for the burgers, which by the way ARE AMAZING! I pounded them flat, marinated them, and Wowza! You could have eaten these plain without turning them into a burger. Holy Dinah, you guys, these babies were the best burgers I ate all summer. Even my son ate them ( the renowned chicken hater) and couldn’t stop telling me how awesome they were.
Tuck this teriyaki marinade into your back pocket, or better yet, pin it for later using the below. This will be my go-to recipe for teriyaki marinade from now on!

What is Hawaiian teriyaki sauce?
This version of teriyaki is now a popular part of Hawaiian cuisine; the sauce served at a luau is more likely to be teriyaki than American-style barbecue sauce. Kikkoman, the world-famous Japanese soy sauce company, cites Hawaiian teriyaki as the inspiration for the bottled teriyaki sauce that it introduced to the American market in 1961.
Where can I buy teriyaki sauce?
You can buy bottled teriyaki sauce at the grocery store or make an authentic version at home with soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. The high sugar content means teriyaki sauce burns easily, so brush it on during the last few minutes of direct high-heat cooking such as on the grill or in the broiler.
