Ingredients

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice
  • ¼ cup hot honey (such as Mike's Hot Honey®)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into strips
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons pineapple juice
  • 3 tablespoons hot honey (such as Mike's Hot Honey®)

Directions

Step 1
Combine soy sauce, 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons pineapple juice, 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons hot honey, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and ginger in a saucepan; stir until well combined. Cook over medium heat until sauce is just starting to boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and whisk in cornstarch until well incorporated. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove teriyaki sauce from heat.

Step 2
Thread chicken into skewers. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Brush chicken on both sides with teriyaki sauce, reserving remaining sauce, and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 3
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 4
Place chicken skewers on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes. Remove from oven.

Step 6
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Brush skewers with more sauce. Broil each side for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with extra teriyaki sauce on the side.
