What is it about grilled Teriyaki chicken fried rice that makes it soooo good? Well, sure the chicken is absolutely great. But I think it’s the peas. And the green onions. Oh, and definitely the egg. Ok, so the answer is all of the ingredients come together to make a fantastically-flavored dish that is easy to prepare and disappears in no time at all.

Instead of the ‘usual’ cooked chicken, we grilled some marinated chicken that came out absolutely fantastic. It is the same marinade we used on some grilled Teriyaki pork kabobs the other night. It is definitely our favorite and it makes dishes like this grilled Teriyaki chicken fried rice so great. The marinade not only gives the chicken an amazing flavor, it tenderizes too. With only a few ingredients, it’s a staple on our menu.

You can cook the chicken directly on the grill, on skewers, or my favorite, in a grill basket. Clean-up couldn’t get any easier when you use a basket. You don’t have to spend the time poking skewers through the meat. And you don’t have to worry about the meat accidentally falling through the grill grates. It’s an all-around win for me!
