Initially, this recipe was developed for my brother-in-law’s bachelor party. This dish was such a hit that it’s become part of my family’s regular dinner rotation! In this recipe, succulent meatballs are stuffed with fresh aromatics, roasted, and then glazed in my Tastiest Teriyaki Sauce. If you’ve tried my “Tastiest Teriyaki Sauce”, then you already know this dish is going to be delicious.
What you may not know is that Teriyaki is fundamentally a technique originating during the Edo period in the 17th century rather than the actual sauce. It translates as “glossy broil” where a glaze of made from sake (or mirin) and soy sauce seasoned with garlic and ginger is brushed over vegetables or meats, then broiled, grilled, or baked.
As I’ve mentioned, this recipe uses the glossy teriyaki sauce after baking–but technically the sauce can be brushed onto the meatballs before baking and then glazed once again before serving for a true teriyaki. However you choose to utilize the sauce, just remember to bookmark this page because after one bite your family will certainly crave these Tastiest Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs!
