Ingredients

½ cup - Soy Sauce
¼ cup - Brown Sugar
1 ½ teaspoons - Fresh Ginger
3 cloves - Garlic
1 tbsp - Honey
1 tsp - Sesame Oil
3 tablespoons - Mirin or Sesame Vinegar
¼ cup - Water
1 tbsp - Cornstarch
2 pounds - Chicken, boneless and skinless

Instructions

If using bamboo skewers, soak skewers in water for at least 20 minutes. This will prevent the skewers from burning on the grill.
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, honey, sesame oil and mirin. Bring to a boil.
In a small bowl, combine the water and cornstarch to form a slurry; stir the slurry into the saucepan.
Reduce heat and simmer for 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and reserve 1/2 cup of the prepared sauce.
Allow the sauce to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Place chicken pieces in a zip top bag; pour remaining teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Thread chicken pieces on skewers.
Place chicken skewers on grill and grill until well browned on one side, about 3-5 minutes.
Turn chicken and grill another 3-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees.
Remove chicken from the grill and baste with reserved sauce.
