Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers Flavorful and Easy Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 whole bell pepper (red or yellow), cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 whole red onion, cut into wedges
• as needed pieces bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
• as needed tablespoons sesame seeds, for garnish
• as needed tablespoons chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

1. Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes into the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Prepare Skewers: After marinating, thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked bamboo skewers, alternating with bell pepper pieces and onion wedges for added color.
4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
5. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
6. Baste for Extra Flavor: Optional: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the remaining marinade on the skewers for a glaze effect.
7. Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
