Grilled Hawaiian Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the teriyaki sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, sesame oil, minced garlic (about 1 tbsp), and grated ginger (about 1 tsp).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tbsp water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the saucepan with the teriyaki sauce.

3. 3

   Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

4. 4

   Cut the chicken breast into 2.5 cm (1 inch) cubes. Place the chicken cubes in a large bowl or a zip-top bag.

5. 5

   Pour about half of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken cubes, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving.

6. 6

   Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers.

7. 7

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F/200°C).

8. 8

   Grill the chicken skewers for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Brush with reserved teriyaki sauce during the last few minutes of grilling.
