Grocery shopping with a little one can be challenging. Often times when I do grocery shop, I have to really stick with my list so that we're in and out as quickly as possible. However, when I have the luxury of walking the grocery aisles at my leisure, I like paying a visit to the bottled sauces aisle. There, I get some inspiration for recipe ideas while trying to find ways to make the bottled sauces with ingredients already in my pantry. As much as convenience is a great thing, I prefer saving some money more and will try making things from scratch if possible. At a recent shopping trip I noticed the various bottles of teriyaki sauces on the shelves and realized it's been awhile since I've made teriyaki chicken. That's when I came across this Baked Teriyaki Chicken recipe where I made the teriyaki sauce from scratch...Believe me when I say how important it is to have a well stocked pantry! You'll be surprised to know how much you can make from scratch with the ingredients you have on hand. This teriyaki sauce is just an example and a tasty one at that. Cornstarch, water, sugar, brown sugar, black pepper, soy sauce, cider vinegar, garlic, and fresh ginger are all you need for a homemade teriyaki sauce without any preservatives, added salt or MSG. It has a beautiful color, smooth consistency and imparts such a great, rich flavor to chicken when used as a glaze. If you have any left over, use it as a marinade for other meats or as a dipping sauce!
