Made with a handful of simple ingredients, this grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers recipe is a mouthwatering dish that comes together in a few quick steps. These tender, flavour-packed teriyaki chicken on a stick are perfect for summer grilling as they're always a crowd-pleasing recipe.
Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, mirin, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Reserve ½ cup and set aside for later.
Add the chicken tenders to a ziptop bag and pour the marinade over top. Mix well and marinate the chicken tenders for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
Whisk together the cornstarch and water until no lumps remain to form a cornstarch slurry.
Add to a small saucepan over medium heat with the remaining ½ cup of marinade that was set aside earlier. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat.
Thread the chicken tenders lengthwise onto the skewers (1 tender per skewer).
Heat grill to 450F or an oiled grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat.
Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning over every 5 minutes or so or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
Brush teriyaki sauce on skewers after grilling, or serve in a bowl as a dipping sauce.
