Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ½ cup (120ml) teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Optional: Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Create the marinade by combining teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl.
- Add cubed chicken to the marinade and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving space between pieces.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F). Brush grill grates with vegetable oil.
- Grill skewers for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, basting with remaining marinade until chicken reaches 165°F.
- Serve hot with paired sides like rice or salad.
Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
Customize marinade sweetness by adjusting honey levels.
Ensure careful monitoring of cooking times to avoid dry chicken.
