Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound Chicken Thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons Teriyaki Marinade/Sauce
1 tablespoon Honey
1 teaspoon Grated Fresh Ginger
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper
¼ teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Teriyaki Sauce/Marinade
1 teaspoon Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Honey
¼ cup Water (or more, if needed)
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
2 teaspoons Water
Sesame Seed

Steps:

  • Cut the thighs into 1-inch (2.5 centimetre) pieces. Place them into a mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well (I love using kitchen tongs to mix this).
  • Thread the pieces onto skewers (fill about 4 inches/12 centimetres of each skewer), making sure to leave little gaps between the meat for more even cooking.
  • Cook on a grill until ready (see note 1).
  • Meanwhile: In a sauce pan, combine teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce and water and simmer on low for about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons of water), while mixing constantly until it has thickened. Once it comes to a boil, turn off.
  • Brush each skewer with some of the sauce and sprinkle (optional) with sesame seeds.
  • Enjoy!

If 'teri' means 'shine,' and 'yaki' refers to grilling, then these chicken skewers are the poster children for teriyaki. Marinated in soy sauce, sake, and mirin, the chicken is grilled to sweet, smoky perfection and dipped in a refreshing, herby miso 'ranch' sauce that'll send your summer cookout guests into a frenzy.
