Notes
If you want to make this grilled chicken recipe even healthier, there are two things you will want to do.
- The Right Chicken Cut: While we all enjoy a great drumstick, they are not the leanest part of the chicken. If you want to make this recipe healthy, choosing to use chicken breasts will be your best bet!
- Cut Out Extra Sodium: Sodium can sneak in where you least expect it. One place you’ll find extra sodium is in the teriyaki sauce. So, to cut out the excess, try and make your own teriyaki sauce. Taste and Tell has a great homemade teriyaki sauce recipe!
