Teriyaki Chicken Sliders
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 12 slider buns
- Sliced pineapple, lettuce, and red onion for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix 1 cup of teriyaki sauce, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of pineapple juice, 1 tsp of minced garlic, and 1/2 tsp of ground ginger.
- Cut the chicken thighs into small pieces and place them in a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the teriyaki marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
- While the chicken is grilling, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skewers and place it in a bowl. Pour the thickened teriyaki sauce over the chicken and toss to coat.
- To assemble the sliders, place a few pieces of teriyaki chicken on the bottom half of each slider bun. Top with a slice of pineapple, lettuce, and red onion, then cover with the top half of the bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Teriyaki Chicken Sliders have a rich history rooted in Japanese-American fusion cuisine. The dish originated in the 1960s when Japanese immigrants in Hawaii combined traditional teriyaki flavors with American slider buns. Renowned chefs like Roy Yamaguchi and Nobu Matsuhisa have popularized this dish in their restaurants, infusing it with their own unique twists. Today, the best version of this dish can be found in Hawaiian eateries, where the sweet and savory teriyaki glaze perfectly complements the tender chicken. The key to a great teriyaki chicken slider lies in the balance of flavors, with the marinade and grilling process being crucial elements. For a unique twist, some chefs incorporate pineapple or spicy mayo to elevate the dish.
