Ingredients:
2 pounds of chicken thighs (or breasts) cut into 1-inch cubes
Teriyaki Sauce/Marinade:
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon honey
1 c water
1/3 c soy sauce *low sodium recommended
8 skewers
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/3 c brown sugar
Optional Topping:
chopped green onion
sesame seed
Steps
Get a bowl to mix this and then put the cornstarch and the water in there mixing them so that they’re blended.
Heat up a saucepan with medium heat levels and then put the cornstarch in along with the other ingredients. Stir all of this until it blends together and then let this simmer so that the sauce creates a thick texture to it
Take the pan off of the heat and then let this sit down at about room temperature
Put the chicken in a bag and then add about half the teriyaki sauce sealing this. Make sure to shake it so that everything’s nice and covered.
Put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes or up to an hour if you want
Pull the bag out and then thread this directly onto the skewers then let the grill heat up
Put the chicken onto your grilling plates letting this cook for anywhere between 20-30 minutes turning this every few minutes so that no side of this burns.
Take more of the sauce and then brush this over the cooked chicken. Serve!
