Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

Our A/C has been out for a few days and it's been pretty warm around here. Of course that means it's too hot to cook inside so I whipped up these little teriyaki treats for the grill. Yum! Now IT Guy won't touch anything with an Asian flair to it (he's missing OUT!) so I grilled him some chicken thighs and doused them with BBQ sauce and he was happy. And I was happy eating these little skewers of deliciousness. The marinade was so good...just perfect, and cooking them on the grill only took a matter of minutes! The sauce can be put on just about anything but I liked the fun of the ka-bob!

Teriyaki Chicken Skewers



1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
5 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 -2 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 - 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes

In a small sauce pan, combine all ingredients.

Heat until sauce thickens.
 
Cool to room temperature then pour over cubed chicken to marinate several hours in the fridge. (I put mine in a plastic zip top bag.)

Makes about 1 1/2 cups sauce.

Soak about a dozen wooden skewers in water for about 10 minutes.

Thread marinated chicken, some fresh pineapple chunks, red onion pieces and bell pepper chunks onto a skewer and grill until chicken is done.

Discard leftover sauce.

Okay....here's the stuff for the teriyaki 

marinade. (Disregard the 1/4 cup water...

not sure how that snuck in there!)

Throw the ingredients in a sauce pan.

And cook until thick. Then cool to 

room temp. (I put my pan in some 

cold water in the sink to speed up the process.)

Chunk the chicken!

Then pour the marinade over the 

chicken and allow to chill in the 

fridge for a few hours or overnight.

Chunk the veggies.

Soak the sticks!

Then thread the chicken and 

veggies/fruit onto the soaked skewers.

Grill to perfection!
