Teriyaki Chicken Skewers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 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
- Wooden 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, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- If grilling, oil the grill grates and place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, basting with the teriyaki sauce until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char. If baking, place the skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, basting with the teriyaki sauce halfway through.
- Serve the teriyaki chicken skewers hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Enjoy!
Teriyaki chicken skewers have a rich history rooted in Japanese cuisine. The dish originated in the Kanto region of Japan, where it was traditionally prepared with tender pieces of chicken marinated in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, then skewered and grilled to perfection. Renowned chefs like Nobuyuki Matsuhisa have elevated the dish to global fame, incorporating their own unique twists. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Japanese restaurants, where the key to perfection lies in the balance of the teriyaki marinade and the grilling technique. The essential ingredients include soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, which create the signature teriyaki flavor. For a unique twist, consider using alternative proteins like tofu or beef, and experimenting with different vegetable pairings.
