Ingredients

4 servings

For the tare (glaze)

¼ cup tamari
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp mirin
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp toasted sesame oil

For the skewers

1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
6 scallions, white and light green parts, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
1 tbsp avocado oil
¼ tsp salt

For serving

1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes so they don't char on the grill.
2
Combine the tamari, honey, mirin, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5–6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil. Pour half the tare into a small bowl and set aside for basting; reserve the remaining half in the saucepan for serving.
