Why this Teriyaki Chicken Recipe Stands Out

• Perfectly Grilled: The teriyaki marinade ensures the chicken pieces remain juicy, tender, and packed full of flavor.
• Versatility: These skewers aren’t just for BBQs. They make a delightful dinner paired with some steamed rice.

How to Perfectly Grill Teriyaki Chicken

• Start by preparing the sauce: In a bowl, combine cornstarch with equal parts water. Mix it into a medium saucepan with the remaining sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sauce thickens. Once thickened, remove from heat and let cool. Speed up cooling by refrigerating.
• Marinate the chicken: Place chicken cubes in a ziplock bag, pour in half of the cooled sauce ensuring every piece is coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Retain the rest of the sauce.
• Grill time: After marinating, skewer the chicken and preheat the grill. Place skewers on a hot, lightly greased grill for 20-30 minutes. Rotate every 3-4 minutes and baste with the reserved sauce in the last few rotations.
• Serve garnished with optional toppings.

Notes:

Make your Delicious Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers gluten-free by using Tamari instead of soy sauce. Ensure your cornstarch is gluten-free or use rice flour as a substitute.
