Our chicken teriyaki is one of the most-requested dishes on every Sushijiro catering order, and for good reason: tender boneless chicken thigh, seared until the skin caramelises, then brushed with a glossy house teriyaki glaze that balances sweet, savoury and a whisper of smoke. It travels beautifully, holds its texture, and pleases almost every palate at the table.
What chicken teriyaki is
Teriyaki refers to a Japanese grilling technique where protein is cooked and finished with a tare glaze of soy, mirin, sake and a touch of sugar. The result is a lacquered, mahogany-coloured surface with deep umami. We use juicy thigh meat rather than dry breast so each piece stays moist even after delivery across the island.
What goes into our chicken teriyaki
Our central kitchen prepares the dish fresh on the day of your event. Expect:
- Boneless, skin-on chicken thigh, deboned and trimmed by hand
- House teriyaki tare reduced in small batches for a thick, clinging glaze
- A finishing sprinkle of toasted sesame and spring onion
- Sliced into bite-sized strips for easy serving and sharing
Everything is cooked under our Japanese culinary team’s omakase-trained eye, so the seasoning is consistent from the first tray to the last.
How we serve chicken teriyaki for catering
This dish slots into nearly every format we offer. As a bento main it pairs with rice, pickles and a side; in a buffet line it sits in a chafing tray to stay warm; on a sharing platter it is pre-sliced for fuss-free grazing. Typical portions run two to three strips per guest as a side, or a fuller cut as the centre main. Browse the full menu, our bento catering range, or build a spread around our Japanese buffet catering.
What to pair with chicken teriyaki
Because the glaze is rich, we like to balance it with lighter, fresher items. Cool sashimi, crisp tempura and clean rice or noodles all work well. For a complete table, pair it with our sushi and sashimi platters or a Japanese mini buffet for smaller gatherings. A bowl of miso soup and a seaweed salad round things out nicely.
Dietary notes for chicken teriyaki
Our entire kitchen is strictly No Pork, No Lard, so this dish contains no pork products and no lard. Please note we are not halal-certified. The teriyaki tare contains soy and may include trace gluten and alcohol from mirin and sake (most of which cooks off). Let us know about allergies when you enquire and we will advise on alternatives.
