Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs chicken tenders
- ½ cup soy sauce low sodium
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger minced, or ½ tsp powdered ginger, or optional
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, mirin, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Reserve ½ cup and set aside for later.
- Add the chicken tenders to a ziptop bag and pour the marinade over top. Mix well and marinate the chicken tenders for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
- Whisk together the cornstarch and water until no lumps remain to form a cornstarch slurry.
- Add to a small saucepan over medium heat with the remaining ½ cup of marinade that was set aside earlier. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat.
- Thread the chicken tenders lengthwise onto the skewers (1 tender per skewer).
- Heat grill to 450F or an oiled grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat.
- Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning over every 5 minutes or so or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
- Brush teriyaki sauce on skewers after grilling, or serve in a bowl as a dipping sauce.
