Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
Marinade & Sauce
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Other
- Wooden skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil thoroughly to create a balanced sweet and savory marinade.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the cubed chicken breast into the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Thread Chicken on Skewers: After marinating, thread the chicken cubes evenly onto the wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.
- Grill or Broil the Skewers: Preheat your grill or broiler. Cook the skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the remaining teriyaki sauce to keep the chicken moist and flavorful until cooked through and slightly caramelized.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for food safety.
- For extra flavor, garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
- Can be served with steamed rice or grilled vegetables as a complete meal.
