Delicious Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

These Teriyaki Chicken Skewers are tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The chicken is marinated to perfection, resulting in a deliciously sticky coating that caramelizes beautifully on the grill, making every bite a delightful experience.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, plus extra for basting
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, honey, vegetable oil, garlic powder, ginger, and black pepper.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, ensure they’ve been soaked to prevent burning.
  4. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
  5. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with extra teriyaki sauce, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  6. Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. These Teriyaki Chicken Skewers are perfect on their own or served with rice and steamed vegetables.
