Chicken Teriyaki Skewers by ROKU

Tasting notes

Tasty sesame seed chicken teriyaki skewers make the perfect first course with friends on a summer's evening or a pleasing pass-around the garden party snack. They are simply irresistible when paired with a beautifully balanced ROKU Gin & Tonic with fresh Ginger.

Method for skewers

1. Heat the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and cornflour in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer gently for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and glossy.

2. Cut each chicken thigh into three or four strips. Thread the chicken strips onto the skewers.

3. Toast the sesame seeds in a small frying pan.

4. To cook the skewers, heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil and once hot, add the chicken skewers. Brush with the sauce and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, brushing regularly with the sauce and turning frequently until the chicken is cooked through and coated in the sauce.
