Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • wooden or metal skewers

Équipement

  • Grill
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tongs
  • Skewers
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Préparation
 

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Add chicken cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) to marinate.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.
  5. Grill the skewers for 5–7 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with leftover marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
  6. Check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 2 minutes.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot with rice or grilled vegetables.

Notes et conservation

For a tropical twist, alternate chicken with pineapple chunks on the skewers. You can bake these in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes if grilling isn’t an option. Use gluten-free teriyaki sauce or tamari for a gluten-free version.
