Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, half of the pineapple juice, half of the hot honey, minced garlic, brown sugar, salt, and ground ginger. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch with the remaining pineapple juice until smooth. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. (1 minute)

05

Step

Continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens to a glossy glaze. Remove from heat and set aside. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Thread the chicken strips onto skewers. Season generously with salt and pepper. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Brush the skewers on all sides with the prepared teriyaki sauce, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve the remaining sauce for basting and serving. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully meld. (2+ hours)

08

Step

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Arrange the marinated chicken skewers on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. (2 minutes)

10

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned. (10-13 minutes)

11

Step

Remove from the oven. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. (5 minutes)

12

Step

Brush the skewers generously with more of the reserved teriyaki sauce. (1 minute)

13

Step

Broil each side of the skewers for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are caramelized and slightly charred. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (4-6 minutes)

14

Step

Serve the Teriyaki Chicken Thigh Skewers immediately, accompanied by the remaining teriyaki sauce for dipping or drizzling. These pair perfectly with steamed rice and your favorite green vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

I recommend to marinate for longer than 2 hours, overnight is perfect
