Teriyaki chicken is a Seattle staple: chicken marinated in a sweet-savory teriyaki sauce and grilled until lightly charred and beautifully caramelized, served with rice and an iceberg salad. In this video, chef Nicholas Gavin offers up a riff on the local favorite by spatchcocking and marinating a whole chicken, which allows you to cook the bird evenly for maximum juiciness, whether you want to dig into the legs or breasts (or both!).
Instead of grilling, Nick uses a two-phase oven method—first braising the chicken, then turning up the heat to develop that signature char and caramelized finish.
