Morphology
The phrase denotes chicken prepared in the teriyaki style, which is directly derivable from 'teriyaki' (a soy-marinated, grilled/glazed preparation) + 'chicken' (the meat). The cooking-method + food-item composition is a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand the meaning.
Etymology
The dish teriyaki chicken gets its name from the Japanese words teri meaning 'shine' and yaki meaning 'grill'. It is chicken grilled with a sweet soy glaze that makes the meat shiny, so the name helps you remember the shiny, glazed chicken.
