Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

Teriyaki Chicken Skewers are a delightful fusion of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a quick meal or BBQ gathering. Marinated in a rich teriyaki sauce, these skewers provide a juicy and tender bite that satisfies every palate.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams, cubed
• Soy sauce - 4 tablespoons
• Brown sugar - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, for garnish
• Skewers - 4 (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki marinade.
2. Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
4. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
6. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve with rice or your favorite side.
