Teriyaki Chicken Skewers
Description
Teriyaki Chicken Skewers start with cutting chicken thighs into uniform cubes and marinating them in teriyaki sauce to absorb flavor. Threading the pieces on skewers with some space between allows even cooking over medium heat. Grilling imparts a slight char and caramelizes the teriyaki sauce, enhancing the depth of taste.
The chicken stays juicy thanks to the thigh meat, and the exterior develops a glossy, lightly crisp surface from the marinade sugars. Cooking times around 3-4 minutes per side ensure thorough cooking without drying out. The dish balances sweet and savory notes typical of teriyaki.
Serve the skewers warm as finger food or with rice and steamed vegetables for a complete meal. They are suitable for outdoor grilling or indoor grill pans. Brushing the grill grates with oil helps prevent sticking and preserves the chicken's appearance.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 1.5 cups teriyaki sauce
Instructions
- Cut chicken thighs into 2 inch cubes, trimming off any excess fat.
- Place the chicken into a medium size bowl. Add teriyaki sauce and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Add chicken to the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Both indoor and outdoor grills should work. Once the grill is hot, lightly brush the grates with oil.
- Add chicken and grill on each side for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is lightly golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Enjoy!
