GRILLED CHICKEN TERIYAKI SKEWERS WITH MISO RANCH
If 'teri' means 'shine,' and 'yaki' refers to grilling, then these chicken skewers are the poster children for teriyaki. Marinated in soy sauce, sake, and mirin, the chicken is grilled to sweet, smoky perfection and dipped in a refreshing, herby miso 'ranch' sauce that'll send your summer cookout guests into a frenzy. The only bottles not invited to this party are bottled teriyaki sauces! Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Great served with rice as a main course or use as appys with dipping sauce. Soak the skewers while the chicken is marinading to save time. These go very quickly on an indoor grill but are equally as good done outdoors. Cooking time includes marinading time.

Steps:
- In a small pot or saucepan, mix together the first 7 ingredients (tamarind paste to 3/4 cup water). Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and cook for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the 2 tablespoons of water until it is dissolved and smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pot and stir until it is well combined and the sauce begins to thicken like a glaze. Continue to cook and reduce by one third, 2 to 3 minutes. Then turn the heat to the lowest possible setting and cover the pot with a lid to keep the sauce warm.
- In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add your chicken pieces and about a quarter of the sauce and cook for 5 minutes without stirring. Then toss the chicken pieces, doing your best to flip them over, adding another quarter of the sauce. Cook until the inside of the meat is white, 6 to 8 minutes more.
- Remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to rest until the pieces are cool enough to handle. Weave the chicken onto the bamboo skewers, about 4 per skewer, and lay them flat on a serving dish or a large plate. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the skewers and sprinkle with white toasted sesame seeds and the sliced green onions. Serve and eat immediately.

Steps:
- Step 1: Prepare the sauce. Begin with your cornstarch and water mixture, and add this to the other sauce ingredients in a pot. Cook this until it begins to simmer and thicken. Once thick, take off the heat to cool completely. Step 2: Marinate cubed chicken in a large Ziplock with half of the cooled teriyaki sauce. Let this work its magic in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Step 3: Skewer your meat and turn the grill on to medium. Once hot, cook the skewers on an oiled grill, or on a grilling mat. Turn the sewers every few minutes for consistent cooking. Pull off when the chicken reads 165 degrees, this will be about 20-30 minutes. At the end of that time, baste with the remaining sauce. Step 4: Top with sesame seeds and green onion for that finished, fancy meal effect! I served these skewers over rice with asparagus on the side. And I fell back in love with cooking and remembered the power of turning to Pinterest when I need a dinner intervention! I hope you try and like this recipe too!

Tips:
- Choose a quality chicken: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts that are fresh or thawed and patted dry. This will ensure succulent and flavorful skewers.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, sake, mirin, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) tenderizes the chicken and infuses it with delicious flavors.
- Use wooden or metal skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning. Metal skewers can be used without presoaking.
- Skewer the chicken properly: Thread the chicken onto the skewers, ensuring the pieces are evenly spaced and not overcrowded. This will allow for even cooking.
- Grill or pan-fry the skewers: You can cook the skewers on a grill or in a grill pan over medium heat. Cook the skewers for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
- Make the teriyaki sauce: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining soy sauce, sake, mirin, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
- Glaze the skewers: Brush the cooked chicken skewers with the teriyaki sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes per side, or until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
Conclusion:
Chicken teriyaki skewers are a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or even a party snack. With the right ingredients and a few simple steps, you can easily create these delicious skewers at home. Experiment with different marinades and side dishes to find your favorite combinations. Whether you prefer grilling or pan-frying, these skewers are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
