Take note
Be careful when handling hot grill and skewers. Make sure to marinate the chicken thoroughly and cook it to a safe internal temperature.

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of mirin, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Add 1 pound of chicken thigh meat, cut into bite-sized pieces, and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

2

Prepare the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using charcoal, make sure the coals are ashed over. If using a gas grill, preheat it to medium heat.

3

Skewer the Chicken

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, making sure there is enough space between each piece. This will help the chicken cook evenly.

4

Grill the Skewers

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. Brush some of the leftover marinade onto the chicken while grilling for an extra burst of flavor.

5

Serve and Enjoy

Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve the teriyaki chicken skewers hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Enjoy them with a side of steamed rice and a smile on your face!
