How to Make Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

These flavor-filled skewers start with a quick teriyaki-inspired marinade made with tamari (or soy sauce), coconut sugar, garlic powder, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. The marinade packs major umami, infusing the chicken with flavor with just a quick 30 minute marinating time. The same ingredients, thickened with the addition of a little arrowroot starch + water slurry, double as a glaze for brushing at the end. Next, we assemble the skewers by arranging the marinated chicken between squares of red onion, which adds natural sweetness with every bite. Then they’re ready to grill (on a BBQ or grill pan) until the chicken is tender with charred edges and grill marks galore. Lastly, brush on the teriyaki glaze and prepare for your dinner guests to be asking When’s the next invite? We hope you LOVE these grilled teriyaki chicken skewers!
