Ingredients

• For the Chicken Skewers:
• - 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• - 1/2 cup soy sauce
• - 1/4 cup brown sugar
• - 1/4 cup mirin
• - 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• - 2 cloves garlic, minced
• - 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• - Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 15 minutes
• For the Miso Ranch Dipping Sauce:
• - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• - 1/4 cup buttermilk
• - 2 tablespoons white miso paste
• - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
• - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• - 1 clove garlic, minced
• - Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk well to combine and create the teriyaki marinade.
2. Place the chicken cubes in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the teriyaki marinade over the chicken, making sure all the pieces are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, dividing them evenly among the skewers.
5. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
6. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the miso ranch dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, white miso paste, chopped chives, parsley, dill, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
7. Serve the grilled chicken teriyaki skewers hot off the grill, accompanied by the miso ranch dipping sauce.
8. Enjoy!
