Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup of soy sauce
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons of water
- Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sugar is dissolved.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the sauce while whisking constantly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Place the cubed chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag and pour 3/4 of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked bamboo skewers.
- Grill the chicken skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. Baste the skewers with the reserved teriyaki sauce while grilling.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the grilled teriyaki chicken skewers hot with steamed rice and vegetables. Enjoy!
