Description

Flavorful skewers marinated in homemade teriyaki, grilled to perfection. Perfect for a protein-rich, sweet-savory Asian fusion meal with homemade glaze.


Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs (700 g) chicken breast (skinless, boneless)
1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium or tamari for gluten-free)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
2 cloves garlic (minced or grated)
1 tablespoon grated ginger (or ground)
1 tablespoon olive oil (neutral oil for grilling)
8 skewers (wooden or metal; soak wooden ones 20 mins)


Instructions

Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger in a bowl
Add olive oil; set aside half for grilling, refrigerate rest
Cut chicken into cubes (1 in), marinate in 2/3 of the glaze for at least 15 minutes
Thread onto skewers, leaving space between each piece
Preheat grill to medium-high; brush with remaining glaze
Grill 8-10 minutes, flipping and brushing with glaze until charred and cooked through


Notes

Use thighs for juiciness
Soak wooden skewers to prevent burning
