How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Skewers Recipe.

First, you have to make the sauce. Prepare a mixing bowl, then add water and cornstarch to it and mix well. Next, prepare a medium saucepan, then add the remaining marinade ingredients along with the cornstarch mixture. Cook over medium heat and stir frequently. Let the sauce simmer and cook until thickened and dark brown. Remove the pan from the heat, then leave the sauce to cool completely.

Place the chicken pieces in a ziplock bag and pour half the sauce into the bag. Gently shake the bag until the sauce coats the chicken, then store in the fridge for at least half an hour to marinate. Save the remaining teriyaki sauce for later.

Once marinated, place all the chicken pieces onto a few skewers and heat your grill over medium heat. Grease your grill with oil and place skewers on top. Grill your skewers for about 25 minutes and turn the skewers every three minutes until cooked. When grilled, you can baste the chicken with the remaining teriyaki sauce several times.

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill, then sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Finally, serve with fried rice, steamed rice, sautéed broccoli, or these Roasted Parmesan Green Beans.
