How to make grilled teriyaki chicken kabobs
Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs are so easy to prepare and will make the perfect dinner out on the back patio. Start by cutting the chicken, peppers, and onion into bite size pieces and add them to a medium size mixing bowl. In a small mixing bowl add soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ground ginger, minced garlic and honey and whisk until combined. Add 6 Tbsp. of the teriyaki sauce to the chicken and vegetables and stir to coat ingredients well. Cover and refrigerate for 30- 60 minutes. Cut pineapple into chunks and set aside until chicken has marinated
Once chicken has had a chance to marinate, thread chicken, peppers, onions, and pineapple onto skewers alternatively, leaving some space on both ends of the skewers. Add the remaining teriyaki sauce to a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch slurry and whisk until it becomes slightly thickened. Take 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce and baste chicken skewers on both sides. Grill chicken skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove grilled teriyaki chicken kabobs from the grill and baste with the remaining teriyaki sauce. Serve over white or brown rice for a complete meal.
