Note

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning.

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken cubes in half of the sauce mixture for 30 minutes before grilling.

You can substitute teriyaki sauce for hoisin sauce if preferred, though the flavor profile will be slightly less savory.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
