These grilled chicken skewers are marinated with a homemade teriyaki sauce and cooked to perfection. Juicy and flavorful marinated teriyaki chicken skewers are an excellent quick and easy dinner or lunch recipe. Grilled chicken is an incredibly versatile food.
You can’t go wrong with chicken skewers. It is always a great choice for picky eaters who want to enjoy a great meal. Pair this up with roasted potatoes or piping hot white rice for an awesome dining experience.
You can add diced bell peppers, freshly cut pineapples, and even onions to the skewers for a Hawaiian beach vibe. To avoid dry and stringy chicken skewers, don’t set the heat to high. The chicken will cook more evenly and thoroughly with a lower temperature. 5-7 minutes is enough to have a perfect and juicy grilled chicken skewer.
This amazing chicken recipe can be a great pairing with white wines.
