Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts
Marinade
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 green onions sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sweet rice wine optional
- 1 clove garlic minced
Instructions
- To make the marinade, in a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, ketchup, green onion, ginger, rice wine, and garlic.
- If using chicken breasts, pound to ½-inch thickness with the flat side of a meat mallet. Chicken thighs do not need to be pounded.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from marinade, let excess drip off, and discard any marinade.
- Grill the chicken 5 to 7 minutes per side or until cooked through and no pink remains (165°F).

Notes
- For teriyaki chicken skewers, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate as directed. Thread the chicken onto skewers and grill for 10 to 14 minutes.
- This is also a great recipe for shrimp (place them on skewers so they don’t fall through the grill grates), and even pre-made meatballs.
- Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Leftover chicken can be stored in the fridge in a covered container for up to 3 days.
