So, we can finally feel the glimpse of summers and I cannot wait to turn on the grill and enjoy some delicious grilled chicken recipe. I like to make grilled recipes for summers. It is always a one-pot recipe. Also, when we cook outside, it's always such a fun time in the house.

This homemade Teriyaki Sauce is seriously amazing. It is sweet, with a hint of tartness because of the Vinegar. Also, the bites of ginger and garlic make it exactly like a store-bought Teriyaki Sauce. You can serve this with these Chicken Skewers and it is going to be a sure hit.

Summers are all about enjoying quick and easy dinner recipes. The warm weather inspires me to make quick recipes that take just 5-minutes of prep time, get ready in a jiffy, and are always a favorite in the family.

Grilled Chicken is seriously my favorite. It makes for a perfect meal for the crowd.

Below is a brief description of the recipe. You can find the detailed recipe card below. Also, watch the video for a visual.

Knead the Skewers

  • Soak the skewers in warm water for 20 minutes
  • Start kneading the skewers. First, insert the Bell Pepper and then the Red Onion, followed by the Chicken Pieces
  • Do not knead all the way to the top. Keep about a 1-inch gap at the top.

Grill the skewers

Grilling Teriyaki Chicken Skewers in a grill pan
  • Heat Olive Oil in a Grill Pan
  • As the oil shimmers, add the skewers and grill over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes
  • Turn after every 2-minutes interval using tongs
  • Baste the remaining Teriyaki Sauce towards the end.

Garnish and Serve

  • Finally, serve these Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers over a bed of rice with some chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top.

Tips to make the best Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

  • Grill the Chicken for 8-10 minutes on the stovetop
  • In an outdoor grill, grill on medium-high for 20 minutes. Turn after every 5-10 minutes
  • Do not forget to baste the Chicken. This will make them juicy
  • Do not forget to soak the skewers in warm water. Dry skewers might burn up in the grill.

How to make Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers ahead of time?

  • You can make the Teriyaki Sauce and store it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 3 months
  • You can keep the Chicken and the Teriyaki Sauce in a freezer-friendly ziplock bag and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before reuse.

Making Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers in the Crockpot?

Of course, I do this all the time. If you hate heating up the stovetop during summers, just dump all the Teriyaki Sauce ingredients in the slow cooker, and cook it on low for 2 hours.

Next, take out the sauce in a zip lock bag, throw in the Chicken and refrigerate for 1 hour

Finally, just heat up the grill and grill these Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers for 8-10 minutes or until the Chicken gets charred on both sides.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Making the Teriyaki Sauce: To make the Teriyaki Sauce, first make Cornstarch slurry by combining Cornstarch and Water in a bowl until combined and lump-free.

  • Toss the Chicken in the Teriyaki Sauce. Stir to combine or just take the sauce and the chicken in a zip-lock bag. Seal the top and shake vigorously until combined. Keep this in the refrigerator for 1 hour or overnight.
  • To knead the Kabobs, start by soaking the skewers in warm water for 20 minutes. Then start with the Bell Peppers, followed by Red Onion and a Chicken Piece. Follow until you reach the tip of the skewer. Do not knead all the way up to the top. This will make it difficult to cook the kabobs. Keep about 1-inch space on the top.
  • Heat some Olive Oil in a grill pan. Add the skewers and allow them to get charred over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes. Turn after every 2 minutes. Baste with the remaining sauce towards the end.
  • Serve these Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Skewers with rice. Garnish with finely chopped Green Onions.
