Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Thigh Skewers Recipes

TERIYAKI CHICKEN THIGH SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons pineapple juice, 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons hot honey, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and ginger in a saucepan; stir until well combined. Cook over medium heat until sauce is just starting to boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and whisk in cornstarch until well incorporated. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove teriyaki sauce from heat.
• Thread chicken into skewers. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Brush chicken on both sides with teriyaki sauce, reserving remaining sauce, and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place chicken skewers on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Brush skewers with more sauce. Broil each side for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with extra teriyaki sauce on the side.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN SKEWERS

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!

• Cook on the preheated grill, turning every few minutes and drizzling any remaining sauce from the bag over top, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• About 10 minutes before the skewers are done, mix cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Put the 1/4 cup reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add cornstarch-water mixture and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens, 7 to 8 minutes.
