Juicy, flavorful chicken glazed with a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce!
Ingredients
1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for thickening)
2 tbsp chopped green onions (for garnish)
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 20 minutes if grilling)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
Bring to a simmer, then stir in cornstarch slurry (cornstarch + water) and cook until thickened. Set aside to cool.
Place chicken pieces in a bowl or zip-top bag and pour in half of the cooled teriyaki sauce. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Thread chicken onto skewers.
Grill or broil skewers over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, turning and basting with reserved sauce, until chicken is cooked through.
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot!
