Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Soak 8 bamboo skewers in water for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut 1.5 lb chicken thighs into 1-inch chunks.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk 0.25 cup soy sauce, 0.25 cup honey, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, and 2 minced garlic cloves until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Thread chicken onto the soaked skewers, about 4-5 pieces each. Brush generously with half the teriyaki sauce.

  4. Step 4

    Grill or broil skewers over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Brush with remaining sauce during the last 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Serve hot, drizzled with any extra sauce from the pan.
