Tamarind Teriyaki Chicken Skewers Recipes

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!

TAMARIND "TERIYAKI" CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a small pot or saucepan, mix together the first 7 ingredients (tamarind paste to 3/4 cup water). Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and cook for 10 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the 2 tablespoons of water until it is dissolved and smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pot and stir until it is well combined and the sauce begins to thicken like a glaze. Continue to cook and reduce by one third, 2 to 3 minutes. Then turn the heat to the lowest possible setting and cover the pot with a lid to keep the sauce warm.
• In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add your chicken pieces and about a quarter of the sauce and cook for 5 minutes without stirring. Then toss the chicken pieces, doing your best to flip them over, adding another quarter of the sauce. Cook until the inside of the meat is white, 6 to 8 minutes more.
• Remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to rest until the pieces are cool enough to handle. Weave the chicken onto the bamboo skewers, about 4 per skewer, and lay them flat on a serving dish or a large plate. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the skewers and sprinkle with white toasted sesame seeds and the sliced green onions. Serve and eat immediately.

Cover top in plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 6 hours.
• Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, and miso in a bowl. Add green onion, garlic, tarragon, dill, and chives. Season with black pepper and cayenne. Whisk dressing until thoroughly combined.
• Thread chicken pieces onto skewers. Strain marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil to make the glaze.
• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat. Grill skewers, basting with some of the reserved marinade, until meat firms up and springs back to the touch, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Serve skewers next to the miso ranch dressing and brush with reserved glaze.

TERIYAKI SESAME CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak bamboo skewers in water for 1 hour to keep from burning later.
• Mix all marinade ingredients together in a non-reactive container large enough to hold all of the chicken. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch strips and submerge them in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Thread 1 chicken strip on each skewer towards end of the stick, and line up on a sheet pan. Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until fully cooked through. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving. Serve by sticking skewers straight out of the side of a cantaloupe half filled with melon balls, if desired.

CHICKEN TERIYAKI SKEWERS WITH GRIDDLED SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 mins to prevent them from burning. Heat grill to high and line a baking tray with foil. Mix together the teriyaki sauce, honey and soy. Add the chicken pieces and mix to coat. Thread the chicken onto the skewers. Place on the lined baking tray and cook under the grill for about 15 mins until charred, turning and basting from time to time with any extra sauce. Check that the chicken is cooked through before serving.
• Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan until hot. Toss the spring onions in the vegetable oil and some seasoning, tip into the pan and cook for 3-4 mins until nicely charred and softened. Serve with the chicken skewers.

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.
