Pineapple chicken teriyaki is your new favorite grilled food

The next time you’re planning to grill chicken, skip the barbecue sauce, and whip up a batch of this easy teriyaki instead. The sweet-and-savory flavor of the chicken pairs perfectly with a side of Bush’s Brown Sugar Hickory Baked Beans, so dinner will be ready to serve in a snap.

Ingredients:

For the sauce

• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons sesame seed oil
• 1/4 cup dried onion flakes

For the chicken

• 4 chicken breasts

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients except for the cornstarch and teaspoon of water.

3. Combine the water and cornstarch, and mix until there are no lumps.
4. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan, and mix.
