A simple and flavorful dish featuring marinated chicken skewers grilled to perfection with a homemade teriyaki glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 onion, cut into chunks
  • 8 skewers, soaked in water if wooden

Instructions

  2. Add the chicken cubes to the sauce and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers.
  5. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
  6. Brush with additional teriyaki sauce during the last few minutes of grilling.
  7. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or vegetables. Ensure skewers are not overcrowded for even cooking.
