This recipe takes some prep, but is worth it. Note that you need to use the teriyaki basting sauce and not the teriyaki glaze. If it pours like water/soy sauce, it’s the right stuff and if it’s thicker, it’s not. I adapted this from a wing recipe as my husband doesn’t like the amount of work required to get the little morsels of chicken off the winglets.
