chicken breast

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

Combine dark soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, sweet chili sauce, chili oil, and black pepper in a bowl to create the marinade.

Marinate the chicken in the sauce for a period of time until well coated.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook until the chicken is golden and cooked through, turning as needed.

Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
