Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Teriyaki Chicken Thigh Skewers on the Grill.
Step 1
To create a delicious homemade teriyaki sauce, start by heating a saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
In it, combine water, brown sugar, soy sauce, mirin, agave nectar, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger.
Step 3
Stir the mixture gently until the sugar has completely dissolved, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, mix tapioca flour with two tablespoons of cold water until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Step 5
Once ready, add this mixture to your saucepan with the teriyaki sauce.
Step 6
Keep stirring as you heat the sauce, watching it thicken to your preferred texture.
Step 7
If it gets too thick, don’t worry—just add a splash of water to loosen it up.
Step 8
Once the sauce reaches your desired thickness, remove it from the heat and set aside a quarter cup for basting later.
Step 9
Pour the remaining sauce over your chicken strips in a bowl, making sure they are thoroughly coated.
Step 10
Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour; this step is key for infusing those wonderful flavors.
Step 11
After marinating, it’s time to thread the chicken strips onto skewers, ready for grilling.
Step 12
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
Step 13
Grill the chicken skewers for about three minutes on each side, basting with the reserved teriyaki sauce as they cook.
Step 14
This will give your chicken a beautiful glaze and enhance the flavor.
Step 15
Keep an eye on them to ensure they’re cooked through and develop those lovely grill marks.
Step 16
Once they’re perfectly grilled, remove the skewers from the heat and serve them hot, ready to impress your family and friends with your culinary skills! Enjoy the sweet and savory goodness of your homemade teriyaki chicken skewers!.
