Instructions:
-
Marinating the Chicken:
- In a 2-quart baking dish, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, tamari, dry sherry, ginger, and garlic powder to create the marinade.
- Cut the chicken thighs in half and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning the chicken once to ensure even marination.
-
Preparing the Kabobs:
- Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- Drain the marinated chicken, reserving the marinade for later use.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
- Alternately thread the marinated chicken, red bell pepper, zucchini, and fresh pineapple onto four 12-inch metal or wooden skewers, creating colorful and flavorful kabobs.
-
Grilling the Kabobs:
- Place the assembled kabobs on the preheated grill, either directly over medium heat on a gas grill or 4-6 inches from medium-high coals on a charcoal grill.
- Cook the kabobs for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink, turning them often to ensure even cooking.
- While grilling, brush the kabobs frequently with the reserved marinade to enhance flavor and keep them moist.
-
Serving:
- Once the kabobs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and discard any remaining marinade.
- Serve the Teriyaki Grilled Chicken Kabobs hot and fresh, garnished with your favorite herbs or sesame seeds, alongside steamed rice or grilled vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
