Sesame Teriyaki Skewers (Chicken on a Stick)

Submitted by Big Mike2

"Great for a low-carb snack. I make this up fairly regularly, and just keep it in the fridge for when I need something, but it's just not meal time yet. I left the Bamboo skewers out of the recipe list, and the prep time includes 1 hour of marinading..."

My 6 yr old loves the chicken on a stick at one of our local Chinese restaurants, so I was trying to find a recipe similar to it. This wasn't it, but it was still pretty good...she liked it, ate 3 sticks!! It was really easy to do too.

Just made these and WOW - Great. I usually will not rate an item, unless I follow it exactly, but - making an exception this time.<br/><br/>The only changes - I didn't have sesame seeds and I grilled instead of baked.<br/><br/>On the grill - these are awesome :). The sesame seed oil makes them just a little crispy.<br/><br/>Will make these again - thank you for posting.

I made these for a baby shower and they were awesome! I marinaded overnight and did the skewers with red onion and red bell pepper and cooked in the oven for 25 min at 350 and they cooked perfectly. The taste was great. I used the thigh meat-in expensive and juicy. Will be making again!

These were very good! Much better than similar recipes I have had in the past. They were just slightly salty, so perhaps someone sensitive to sodium could use a low sodium teriyaki? Thanks for the great recipe!

Yummy!! I made these to take to a party and they were gone fast! I used chicken breasts strips and doubled the recipe. I marinated the chicken overnight and cooked them in the morning. I put down a sheet of parchment paper so they wouldn't stick to the pan and cooked for 40 minutes,turning 1/2 way through. Wonderful and full of flavor! Thanks!!
