Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Skewers with Miso Ranch image

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.

12 bamboo skewers
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup sake
⅓ cup mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
2 tablespoons minced green onions

Steps:

  • Soak bamboo skewers in water.

Time 2h

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

15 ounces teriyaki sauce (no more than 2 grams sugar per serving)
6 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)

Tips:

  • Use fresh tamarind paste: Fresh tamarind paste has a more intense flavor than store-bought paste. If you can find it, use it for the best results.
  • Soak the skewers: Soaking the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling will prevent them from burning.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the tamarind teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to infuse it with flavor.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat: Grilling the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Baste the chicken with the sauce: Basting the chicken with the sauce while it is grilling will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: Tamarind teriyaki chicken skewers can be served with rice or noodles, or even on their own.

Conclusion:

Tamarind teriyaki chicken skewers are a delicious and easy to make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The tamarind teriyaki sauce is sweet, tangy, and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the grilled chicken. These skewers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
