How to Make Teriyaki Baby Chicken

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 2 tablespoons sake, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs of bite-sized baby chicken pieces to the marinade and let it sit for at least 10 minutes (longer is better!).
  3. Soak about 10-12 bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Thread approximately four pieces of marinated chicken onto each skewer.
  5. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  6. Grill the chicken skewers for 5-7 minutes per side, basting frequently with the remaining marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
  7. Serve immediately with steamed rice and a side of Japanese coleslaw for a complete and satisfying meal.
