Cooking: An hour prior to cooking, remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Grease a grill and heat it until it is smoking hot. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the used marinade. Cook the chicken on medium-high heat until it is fully cooked, basting frequently if using an outdoor grill. The cook time will vary depending on the heat of the grill, but it should take about 5 minutes per side.
Sauce Heating: While the chicken is cooking, heat up a desired amount of the remaining unused sauce in a saucepan. Boil the sauce while stirring for 1 minute until it has thickened slightly. If desired, add more sugar to taste. Set the sauce aside.
Serving: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and serve over rice, greens, or your preferred base. Drizzle with the teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
