Sweet Teriyaki Chicken Skewers
Description
This recipe starts by slicing chicken thighs (or breasts) thinly and marinating them for at least one hour to absorb the mixture of sesame oil, minced garlic and ginger, teriyaki sauce, sweet chili sauce, and brown sugar. The chicken is threaded onto skewers and cooked initially at 350°F for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, a sauce combining sweet chili, teriyaki, dark soy sauce, light brown sugar, and honey is simmered until blended, then brushed repeatedly on the chicken skewers through cooking and broiling.
The result is skewers with a balanced, sweet-savory glaze that enhances the natural juiciness of the chicken. The caramelized sauce contributes a glossy look and a layered flavor profile marked by garlic, ginger, and gentle heat from chili.
These skewers are suitable for a main dish or appetizer and can be served with rice, vegetables, or salad to complement the rich flavors. Using thin slices and marinating overnight deepens flavor penetration and keeps the meat tender.
