Succulent Teriyaki Chicken Skewers: A Flavorful Delight

Ingredients

• Teriyaki Sauce:
• 3 tbsp of soy sauce
• ¼ cup of pineapple juice
• 3 tbsp of pineapple nectar
• ¼ cup of spicy honey
• 3 tbsp of fiery honey like Mike's Hot Honey®
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp of brown sugar
• ½ tsp of sea salt
• ½ tsp of ginger powder
• 2 tbsp of cornstarch
• 1 pound of chicken thighs (skinless and boneless), sliced into strips
• sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper to suit your taste buds

Step 1

Mix soy sauce, pineapple juice, hot honey, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and ginger in a saucepan. Stir until fully blended. Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble, approximately 5 minutes. Lower the heat and slowly add cornstarch, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, around 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the teriyaki sauce from the heat.

Step 2

Prepare the chicken skewers. Season them with salt and pepper. Coat both sides generously with the teriyaki sauce, saving some for later. It's best to marinate the chicken for a minimum of 2 hours or leave it overnight for enhanced flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 4

Arrange the marinated chicken skewers on the baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, then take it out.

Step 6

Adjust the oven rack to about 6 inches away from the broiler and preheat it. Brush the skewers with more teriyaki sauce and broil each side for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with additional teriyaki sauce on the side for dipping.
